See the fontconfig documentation for details how to do that; usually it's a matter of copying the font files somewhere and running fc-cache(1) (as root or the VDR user). In the skin file the font is defined with font="Osd" or with True Type fonts font="name@size[,width]" where "name" is a string understood by VDR's CreateFont() method (Family:Style where Style is optional as of writing this), size is the font's size, and width its width. For example: font="Serif@20" font="Monospaced:Bold@22" font="Bitstream Vera Sans:Italic@22,85"
