Some font sources 

FontConfig 

Gentoo uses FontConfig. To add new fonts, either Type1 or TrueType:

  1. Create a subdirectory under one of the directories listed at the top of "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf". Example: /usr/share/fonts/cheapskate.
  2. Put fonts in the directory.
  3. That's it! FontConfig figures out when fonts are added or removed. You can list known fonts with "fc-list | sort | less"

Ghostscript 

Adding fonts to Ghostscript:

  1. Create a file in /etc/env.d called "99gs".

  2. Into the file put: 

    GS_FONTPATH="/usr/share/fonts/cheapskate:/usr/share/fonts/..."

    including each directory of fonts that you want Ghostscript to use. Could be either Type1 or TrueType. 3. Run env-update.
