Put the .ttf files in /usr/share/fonts, and they should be available.

the zipped folder doesnot contain any file named "fonts.cache-1" so how can it load them without it??
plz help me

For ttf fonts install them in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/.

just put then anywhere you like
put the path to them in you x config
Section "Files"
FontPath "/"

move into their directory
mkfontscale &&
mkfontdir

put the directory they are in in /etc/fonts/local.conf
<dir> /// </dir>

then run
fc-cache

they should be there the next time yu start x
