If you want to add them manually use the GUI advice already given, or save any
desired font files in ~/.fonts
However, I would probably emerge:
media-fonts/corefonts
media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera
media-fonts/font-bh-ttf
and perhaps:
media-fonts/freefont-ttf
media-fonts/libertine-ttf
to have them system wide.
eix -l ttf and eix -l fonts will show relevant files.
