Linux Fonts Yolinux.com Tutorial Linux Fonts
Installing Microsoft TrueType fonts on Linux:
yolinux.com

Seems a good summary of process and procedures. Did this on redhat 7.3 system and in all seemed to execute OK, I don't see difference yet. trying to install more fonts that can be used by ImageMagick tools.
Installing Microsoft TrueType fonts on Linux:

These instructions are for RedHat 7.3-9.0 and current Fedora Core RPM based distribution running on x86 compatable hardware. Downloads and in-depth instructions for other platforms can be found at CoreFonts.sourceforge.net.

Follow these steps to build an RPM (as root):

1. Download: cabextract-0.6-1.i386.rpm
2. Install RPM: rpm -ivh cabextract-0.6-1.i386.rpm
3. Download: msttcorefonts-1.3-4.spec
4. Create RPM: rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-1.3-4.spec
(This downloads Microsoft CAB files and extracts the fonts and builds an RPM. Uses wget, rpm-build, chkfontpath, fc-cache, ttmkfdir)
5. This creates /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

Installing RPM: msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm

* rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
* Restart X server:
o RedHat 9.0 - Fedora Core: /sbin/service xfs reload
o RedHat 8.0: /sbin/service xfs restart

554 wget prdownloads.sourceforge.net
555 rpm -ivh cabextract-0.6-1.i386.rpm
556 wget prdownloads.sourceforge.net
557 rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-1.3-4.spec
558 rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-1.3-4.noarch.rpm
559 convert -lists fonts
