In Windows, you right-click on the font and choose "Install".

In KDE, you right-click on the font, go into the "Actions" sub-menu and choose "Install...". Gnome may be similar, but I'm not sure.

In most Linuxes, you can copy the fonts to "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" (as a GUI-independent install mechanism).

I don't have a Mac available to test, but I'd bet that there's a font-installation capability either by right-clicking on the font, or in whichever viewer opens when you double-click on it.

On Mac just open the file and there's an Install button
