Adding New Fonts
For full details on adding new fonts see here.
Copy a new TrueType fonts (*.ttf) font file in the directory /usr/share/fonts (for all users) or ~/.fonts (for a specific user, e.g. /home/pi/.fonts – create the directory if necessary and note the dot').
You can test the new fonts are then available using Leafpad
