In f8 (and I believe in f9) fonts work without any problems and
"dynamically" with font-config.

Put your fonts in ~/.fonts and it is done. You can check the result
using fc-list

For a system wide use, create a directory:

/usr/local/share/fonts/

then add the fonts there (in their own directory if you want to make a
classification).

To have these fonts used by the system, create a local.conf file in
/etc/fonts

<----local.conf

<fontconfig>
~  <!-- Font directory list -->
~  <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>

<--- end local.conf


See

man fonts-conf

Thanks for that clear pointer, I rarely use global fonts, but you post went in the tricks folder!
