You will also want to make a symbolic link in your home folder to this 
fonts location then. As a user in ~ run "ln -s 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ .fonts" (that is a space before the 
.fonts). This will create a folder linking to the fonts location. This 
is necessary for GNOME, not sure about KDE. Log out and log back in for 
recognition and you should be all set.
