I figured out how to do this with Mandrake 9.1

If anyone is interested I
1. Opened 'Mandrake Control Center',
2. selected 'System',
3. clicked on 'DrakFonts',
4. then 'Advanced' and 'Add',
5. browsed to the directory that had the TTF file I wanted
6. Selecetd the font I wanted
7. Clicked on 'Install List'
