For a Linux Box:
Any font that's accesible from other Gtk Apps should be available to 
Pango. To install fonts:
Create a directory to store the fonts and copy them there.
Add the directory to the catalogue field in /etc/X11/fs/config
Go to the directory where you have the fonts and do:
        $ttmkfdir > fonts.dir
You'll also have to make sure the path is stored in 
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf

Restart xfs to get the fonts.

No idea how this works in Windows, though it's presumably easier there.

HTH.
