I don’t know why fc-cache -f -v does show TTF in its verbose:
/usr/share/fonts: caching, 0 fonts, 5 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts: caching, 31 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera: caching, 10 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default: caching, 0 fonts, 2 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1: caching, 35 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript: caching, 8 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc: caching, 21 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/liberation: caching, 12 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1: caching, 29 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/X11/fonts/OTF: skipping, no such directory
/root/.fonts: skipping, no such directory
/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory
/root/.fontconfig: not cleaning unwritable cache directory
fc-cache: succeeded

In KDE, open a file manager (Dolphin or Konqueror) and browse to
fonts:/Personal
or
fonts:/System
To install new fonts, just drag-and-drop them into this folder. fonts:/ is one of the many cool KIO Slaves that KDE has, making every KDE application network-friendly (ok, fonts:/ isn’t a network thing, but its still a KIO Slave)
