Installing fonts

To install a font (TrueType only, I believe), copy the font file to the directory below and then rebuild the font cache with the following command. Alternatively, one could copy the font to ~/.fonts (would the font only be available to that user then?).
 
DIRECTORY
/usr/share/fonts/
  
COMMAND
sudo fc-cache -f -v
  
This worked with a TrueType font provided by my company's marketing department, the same font used on all the company's signs and branding. Of course, I had to restart Scribus for it to show up in the list of available fonts.
