If you are doing a 'global search' then you may bee for run 'updatedb' as
root before the script can 'locate' new files.

If you have them in a particular sub-directory, you can tell it to
generate the type.xml file with just the fonts in that sub-directory.

NOTE type.xml" files can include other files.  As such you can
create the file...
   $HOME/.magick/type.xml
with...

<typemap>
   <include file="type-myfonts.xml" />
</typemap>

then create a separate $HOME/.magick/type-myfonts.xml  file
with the fonts of just your personal directory...

  find $HOME/lib/fonts/truetype/ -name '*.ttf' | \
     imagick_type_gen -f - > $HOME/.magick/type-myfonts.xml


You can check IM is finding the fonts with
   convert -list font

Path: /home/anthony/.magick/type-myfonts.xml
   ...fonts in my directory...
Path: /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.5.5/config/type-ghostscript.xml
   ...standard ghostscript fonts...
Path: System Fonts
   ...system fonts, in /usr/share/  on my system!
