You don't need root access to install a font for your own use.
- Download a .ttf or .otf to wherever.
- With KDE, open it with kfontviewer, click install, click personal.
- With Gnome3, I think nautilus has support. Gnome 2 had gnome-font-viewer.
This just copies the font file to .fonts in your home directory, in a directory whose name is the first letter of the font file name. I just downloaded monofur.ttf, and copied it to ~/.fonts/m, and gvim found it without further ado. (Unpleasant font, IMO).
