Debian-correct upgrade-safe way:

su -l <your_user> -c "ln -sf ~/MyFonts ~/.fonts"

Hackish you've-been-warned way:

Add "<dir>~/MyFonts</dir>" stanza into /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.

Second way is hackish *and* wrong because Keith Packard himself tells
you that from the comments of /etc/fonts/fonts.conf :)
