Am i right in saying that i only need to copy "mv ~/MyDocs/*.ttf ~/.fonts/" into xterm once i've put the fonts in documents?
Thanks Nath

Ok so i've put a load of .ttf font files in my documents folder which i done via mass storage mode.
I've just ran xterm and put in the following command:
mv ~/MyDocs/calibri.ttf ~/.fonts/
This doesn't work
So i put in the following command...
cp -rf /home/user/MyDocs/calibri.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
Still doesn't work.
Is there something i'm missing?
Thanks,

mv: cannot create '/home/user/.fonts/calibri.ttf': Permission denied

Edit: after sudo gainroot it needs be like this:
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/*.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
