Hello!

What is the right way to install new ttf fonts? 

I know fontconfig/gtk2 recognizes when I copy my fonts to ~/.fonts/ but then
they are not available to gtk 1.2 (and other) programs..

If I copy my fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/, what commands should I run
there? update-fonts-dir? update-fonts-scale? 

Is this documented somewhere? I couldn't find it..

Thanks!
