I use Ubuntu 10.10 myself.  For me, I place the fonts in a folder that will
hold the ones I want to add to the ones already installed by Ubuntu.
Then I highlight them and press enter/return.  That will bring up a
pop-up with an "install" button.  If all goes well, these fonts go into
the hidden ".fonts" folder.  Do not place the fonts directly into that
folder.  Let the system do that during the install.  I also use packages
like "Fontmatrix" to view the font info.  KDE has a nice "font installer"
install/view package as well.
