*Please* do not add the entire digest when you post.

Regarding your question:

/usr/share/fonts

is the directory for system-wide fonts. You can add or remove fonts there.

~/.fonts

is the fonts directory specific to the user. You will need to add this
directory manually either via Nautilus (file browser) or terminal (mkdir
~/.fonts

When you add or remove a font manually, it is always a good idea to
update your fonts cache - from a terminal:

fc-cache -v -f

This however, always works and is a good example of how to add fonts for
either user, or system-wide:

[ignore the comments regarding 'fonts://' as that doesn't exist any
longer in Hardy, see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517632#c3]




What font(s) specifically are you trying to install/remove?
