You don't have to: you can install your Star Trek fonts already (although
we don't have a GUI to do this quite yet) as well as most TTFs (we use
Freetype to draw fonts IIRC). However, we'll never have a /usr directory,
we have /system instead, which is much the equivalent but is not writeable.
If you must have it though, you probably can either 1. symlink /system to
/usr or 2. symlink /system/non-packaged to /usr (probably #2 as /system is
not writable).
Hardlinks should be feasible but I'm no filesystem developer so I can't
say for sure.
