"/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" is the file to configure system font access. According to the following, putting font file in the following directory is of no difference.
Quote:
<!-- Font directory list -->
<dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/share/X11/fonts</dir>
<dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>
<dir>~/.fonts</dir>

And "fc-cache" is needed only when you put font file in other than the above directory.
