If you load nautilus as root then you can drag and drop the files into
/usr/share/fonts
You can also store fonts in ~/.fonts (i think thats the name) so i
assume you can just create that folder if it doesnt exist and then
drag and drop your new fonts to there as a normal user. The font
importer then opens and installs them there.
