Most of that major distributions now use a font server like xfs, which
can render TrueType fonts using the freetype engine. It's simply a
matter of copying the TTF fonts into a new directory under the fonts dir
like so :

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

and then running the following

ttmkfdir > fonts.dir

and then restarting xfs - it's best to close X before you do this.
