This button automatically adds fonts found on your Windows ® partitions, if any, of your local hard drives.
Allows you to specify which applications and devices (such as printers) will support the fonts. Select those you want support for and click on the button.

through drakfont are found in
/usr/share/fonts/drakfont/
.
