The fonts should be stored in /usr/share/fonts/truetype (you do state 
that they are ttf, right?) - so just copy all these fonts into that 
directory as 'root'. If the copying program complains that some of the 
fonts already exists them it's up to you what you do - I normally tell 
it to overwrite the existing files if their size differs. And, 
boom-boom, that's all there is to it :-) .

(Note: but that's for me. YMMV.)
