Thanks to everybody who either posted responses or emailed with  
suggestions about installing fonts.

The following seems to work:

As root
1. place fonts in /LocalLibrary/Fonts
2. run buildafmdir /LocalLibrary/Fonts
3. run cacheAFMData /LocalLibrary/Fonts
4. make sure all the permissions are set so that everybody can read  
both the .font file _and_ the files inside the .font folder; eg
	drwxr-xr-x  2 root        1024 Feb  8  1992 Alison.font/
and
	-rw-r--r--  1 root       48588 Jan  8  1992 Alison
	-rw-r--r--  1 root        6597 Oct  8 00:28 Alison.afm
	-rw-r-----  1 root         979 Jan  8  1992 Alison.readme
The following ensures that the permissions are correct:
	chmod uog+r /LocalApps/Fonts/*.font/*

The permissions problem in step 4 in particular seems to be something  
that many people have run into (it was my problem).  

You can also do all this as yourself, if you place the fonts in  
~/Library/Fonts.

Once again, let me express my opinion that a 4-step procedure using  
obscure command-line commands is most definitely NOT the NeXTSTEP way  
of doing things.  I can just see the Apple ads from here:

   Installing fonts:
     The EASY way (simple drag operation)...
     and the NeXT way (drag font in folder, start terminal,
         execute obscure Unix commands)

C'mon folks...
