Since I can't just drop my fonts in the truetype folder, I must use the 
sudo command for each and every font.

So far I've spent a couple of hours painfully keying in the sudo command 
for each font and then requesting the reconfigure for the batch.

Isn't there a faster way?

Is there some way I can just get ownership of the truetype folder so I 
can just copy/move the required files there? Earlier replies in this 
thread seemed to think there was such a way.

In addition, although I copied several Hebrew fonts, they don't seem to 
be recognized by Open Office (yes, it's set up for Hebrew).
