AIX TrueType Fonts Installation

We have an app that prints PDF files but some of the required TrueType fonts are missing on our AIX box. Does AIX support TrueType fonts? How can I install the following fonts?:
Code:
OCR A Extended (OCRAEXT.TTF)
Courier New (cour.ttf)

I have tried copying those fonts from my Windows box into /usr/lpp/X11/defaults/TrueType but I don't think that was the right way to do it and it didn't work anyway. I tried searching for filesets that contained these fonts but I wasn't able to find anything going down that route either.

Maybe I have to use "smitty font"? But where would I get a "*.nsf" font file?
