Use the Font Palette for OS/2 and eCS->1.2R; click the Edit button to open a dialog to add a font

For eCS2.0 open System Setup -> Fonts and simply drag'n'drop fonts into that folder.

Another nice option that I particularly like (and usedta have a license or three (yes three) for) is Font Folder. The trial version is still floating around someplace on the Net and is fully functional when it comes to font management.

Another option.

First step is cruical. If you move the files after installing, os/2 will not find them. That's an opposite behavior to the usual where Os/2 always keep track of files.
