Hi Kevin,
this worked for me for ttf fonts (taken from 
http://www.linux.org.mt/article/ttfonts)

As said, put everything in ~./fonts

then cd ~/.fonts
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir

Now you should see fonts.scale and fonts.dir in your dir.

Finally, as root, do
chkfontpath -a /home/yourdir/.fonts

Hope this helps
Gianfranco
