I cannot easily access a KDE-system anymore to give you the exact name
of the menu. There is a GUI in the KDE-menu, which lets you add fonts
and sorts the fonts by tape (ttf, a.s.o) and alphabet. You can decide,
if the fonts are local fonts for the user, or used by the whole system.

How can I use Thunar as user to copy files to a directory which is
owned by root? Actually I would use the shell to do it, but I am
interested to know how this works with Thunar.
