It depends on what type of fonts you want to add.

For regular pcf fonts, I go

cp font.pcf.gz /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc  (if that's where yours
goes)

sudo mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

xset fp rehash


That should about do it.  There used to be some HOWTOs about this on
themes.org.  Not sure if it's still there.  You could search for "adding
fonts to Linux" or some such.
