How do I Install Core Fonts

I'm running Crossover on my Fedora 39 system and using it to run Quicken. I've never been fully satisfied with the fonts Quicken uses. I can change the register fonts in Quicken but all the others, menus, popups, etc, have always looked bad. I did some googling and found that crossover has a package called Core Fonts. Found it at https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/core-fonts. I downloaded it. It's a file called "Core Fonts.tie". The instructions say to run crossover and install it as an unlisted application. The Crossover installer does not see it because it's a .tie file and not a .exe or .msi file. What is a .tie file anyway. It appears to be an XML file.

Searching on my system, I found other .tie files in ~/cxoffice/tie/ and /opt/cxoffice/share/crossover/data/. So, my home crossover directory and the system's crossover directory. Just to see what would happen, I copied the file I downloaded to both of these places. Starting Quicken showed no effect. However, I logged off my session and logged in again and then when I started Quicken those fonts I mentioned seem a lot better.

Was I right to copy the file I download to those two areas? Is that how it's supposed to be installed?

Never mind. I found the answer here:

Turns out I already had all those fonts installed anyway. As a test, I removed the font files from the Quicken bottle and them followed the instructions at that page above and all the fonts were reinstalled.
