Sorry, I hadn't seen Jeff Greene's comment when I made my last comment. I have just tried going to fonts:/// in Nautilus, but it doesn't offer any obvious ways to do anything. For instance I tried dragging and dropping a font file into the window, but it didn't stick, not even when I did it is root.

What one needs to be able to do is to enable or disable whole groups of fonts at a time. You also need to be able to work out how to do this without anyone telling you. I would have expected to find a font manager in the System-->Preferences menu on the Gnome top bar. It is not reasonable to expect a novice to do Go-->Location... "fonts:///" without reading a manual.
