Adding Fonts in Linux

[Yahya]

For one user (useful for users moving home from one machine to another without loosing their fonts):

Code: Select all

$ mkdir ~/.fonts
$ mkdir ~/.fonts/ttf-my-extra-fonts
$ cp /path/to/new/font/new-font-name.ttf ~/.fonts/ttf-my-extra-fonts/
$ fc-cache -f -v

System-wide (new users will have the same set of fonts):

Code: Select all

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-my-extra-fonts
$ sudo cp /path/to/new/font/new-font-name.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-my-extra-fonts
$ fc-cache -f -v

This is a link to a collection of fonts useful for Windows compatibility:

It can be extracted directly into ~/.fonts/ or /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
