If you install extra fonts and files, you should put them in

tex/texmf-fonts
tex/texmf-project

as these are left untouched. That has always been the recommendation. 
The other trees will be synchronized in an update and that also includes 
deleting obsolete files.

you can put the fonts in

tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/someplace

and run

mtxrun --generate

and then try the selectfont command
