Installing oft Fonts in Ubuntu

I got them (Adobe fonts to be precise) installed this way:
Note: At most step, super user privileges will be needed

1. If it does not exist, create a directory

       	mkdir /usr/share/fonts/otfonts
   

2. Copy all *.otf files to the directory.
3. Run ttmkfdir while in the directory /usr/share/fonts/
   You may need to install it first using apt-get .
   This should output the file fonts.scale
4. Run mkfontdir in the same directory to create the file fonts.dir
5. Run fc-cache to update the font cache.
6. fc-list | grep -i Font-name
   To make sure the font has been successfully installed.
