Add font without root in linux

My job is software development in Linux. Our company provide many servers for development. Of curse, I don't have root permission. But I want some great font for coding and that really help a lot. So I try to use font in my terminal without root permission.

Step:

1.put font file into .fonts in your home directory

2.run "fc-chace" update font cache. And you can check the font list with "fc-list"

3.set your application such gvim or terminal to the font you add.

That's all.
