Please read the documentation for xorg.conf. I'm using several TTF fonts 
from my Windows system. All you need is to create a new directory, place 
your fonts there and add the new font path in xorg.conf. Be aware, some 
font files are not in ttf. AFAIK the Xorg server cannot use ".fon" files.

For some reason, I also cannot read some documents because of font 
problems despite that I have those fonts installed. I used to do "select 
all" and the change the font to something else; that will make all text 
readable.

Best,
