Hello,
the following is regarding this issue
https://github.com/sugarlabs/edit-fonts-activity/issues/43

I can use the following to install a .ttf or .otf file in sugar but I
require root access for it

mv path/to/font/file /usr/share/fonts
fc-cache -f -v

I can use subprocess module to run the commands through my activity but how
do I provide it root access or is there another way to do this?
