Font folder permissions

I am trying to add a new font to my usr/share/fonts folder but I get the message you cannot drop any items in a directory in which you do not have write permission. I am the only person who uses my tablet, how do I fix this issue?

Re: Font folder permissions

If you want to add a font to your system you can use Control Panel>System Administration>Font Installer.
As it says, you can either install fonts for just you or if you want that font to be available for the whole system you would click the Administrator Mode button.
