New TTF fonts in IDLE on Linux question

So I'm using this Akbar font, a truetype, related to Simpsons, for
coding in Python, just for kicks (looks pretty good actually).

No prob on Windows, but when I sudo cp akbar.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/
truetype/ttf-misc, a directory I made myself (root root), then
OpenOffice and WingWare find it right away, but IDLEs in Python 2.5
and 3.0 don't seem to see it. Is there some special place IDLE looks
for fonts that I'm missing?
