How to install extra fonts in Ubuntu ?

A Friend's Note :
650-393 has a very easy preparation manual but the real exams are much more complex and should not be taken before PMI-001. It is better if the student is done with his 70-284 as well as 640-801.

yesterday I found bunch of charming free fonts ( including Harry Potter, Batman , Lord of the rings Movies fonts ) .

I needed to install those fonts to use in my banners , here is how I installed it in my ubuntu .
first download the fonts you like and extract the zip files , and move all the ttf files into a folder in your desktop for example "dlfonts"

now we need to make a directory inside our system font to copy our own fonts into .

sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myownfonts

and then go to directory which you have copied your fonts

cd Desktop
cd dlfonts

and now copy the TTF files to myfonts directory

cp *.* /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myownfonts

(now delete the "dlfonts" directory in your Desktop we no longer need it)

you need to refresh your Ubuntu font cache:

sudo fc-cache -f -v
