    Open up Nautilus and in the location space put: fonts:///

    And then just copy over your .PFB files.
    That will add the fonts for you =)

    (if this isn't your problem, sorry )

    Anytime Ive added a font, I just copied it to the ~/.fonts/ dir and it worked immediately. I think it may be because it needs to be plural.

    You are just copying the .PFB file over right? Nothing else, right?
