Maybe you should briefly mention what you would have done in KDE to
achieve the same task,  so people not familiar with KDE can help you
out.

There is no default interface for font installation. The common way
is to use Thunar (or any other file manager) to copy fonts to
~/.fonts, /usr/share/fonts or /usr/local/share/fonts. Whether you need
to run a tool afterwards depends on the distribution.
