You can install it for an individual user by placing it in $HOME/.fonts
(creating that directory if necessary) or by placing it anywhere under 
/usr/share/fonts which is always searched by fontconfig.  There shouldn't 
be any need to edit any configuration files to install fonts.

After installing, you can update the cached information about available 
fonts by running 'fc-cache'.
