How to install and manage fonts under Fedora?

or in a nutshell:
Go to System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Appearance

The Appearance controls appear, and at the top there is a tab labeled
"Fonts". Click into this tab. At the bottom of this window there is a button
"Details", which opens up a new window, at the bottom of which is another
button: "Go to Font Folder".

Your system's font folder then opens. Place all the fonts you've downloaded
into this folder. The fonts themselves are the files ending in .ttf so don't
try to add any of the .txt or .rtf files that may have accompanied the fonts
in your download. These are typically notes from the font designer about the
license or where to find more fonts, and so on.

You may need to restart X after this; I haven't used Gnome in a while.

Hope that helps.
