How to use folder full of fonts without moving them

[joey-elijah]

IS there anyway to use a folder full of fonts on a shared partition without moving them into the home .fonts folder?

Do you want to JUST use the fonts inside that folder and none else? If that's the case you could just make your local .fonts folder a link to the fonts folder on the shared partition.
EDIT: The code for doing so would be something like:

mv ~.fonts fonts-backup #omit if you don't want to backup your current font directory
ln -s /path/to/sharedfonts ~/.fonts

Alternatively you could make a link to every font file in the shared folder within the .fonts folder.
