Copy to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Use your file manager (typically Nautilus) with elevated privileges to do so, otherwise you won't be able to copy them there because of file/directory permissions. Alternatively, if you're handy with the Terminal, you can use sudo cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype (where is the full path of the font), or if you're copying all the fonts in a directory cd to that directory, then sudo cp * /usr/share/fonts/truetype
