On Ubuntu Intrepid that would be /usr/share/fonts for the fonts shipped 
with the distribution, or installed via the repositories,  and 
$HOME/.fonts for user-installed fonts. Some distributions may use 
/usr/local/share/fonts, but I haven't tried that on Intrepid.

BTW, if you want Context to find _both_ directories make sure you set 
your OSFONTDIR in setuptex like this:

export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts"

You have to use the semicolon instead of a colon, and don't forget the 
parentheses (found that in an old post by Khaled Hosny).

Cheers,
