    I've got GNOME 2 running on Debian Sarge. I'd like to add some fonts
    to GNOME. (Currently I've only got about 12 fonts.)

    What type of fonts are compatible? How do I add them to Gnome? I
    googled on this subject but didn't find anything that helped. (I have
    read the Font HOWTO, but it didn't seem to deal specifically with
    GNOME.)

    I managed to find the fonts I do have installed in GNOME by typing
    "fonts:///" into Nautilus. Hoever, I couldn't paste any font files
    into it. Where is the "fonts:///" directory in the file system? I
    couldn't find it. Is it some type of "virtual" directory?

    Thanks for any help or suggestions.
