How or where to install new fonts?? :S in Windows is easy just copy the fonts and paste in to font folder but how to install on Ubuntu?

Create a folder named .fonts inside your personal folder and copy the desired fonts there. Restart the application where you want to use the new fonts. In Nautilus, you'll need to enable the hidden files view feature (Ctrl+H) to see the folder.

Can you modify this request specifying the path to a certain font to be installed?
