Adding fonts to a Linux Gnome Desktop Environment
Sunday, 19. August 2007, 05:46:32
Suprisingly simple, surprisingly tricky.
Open a nautilus windows (typicaly your home directory will do) and press ctrl+L to get the location bar.
Type
fonts:///
then copy the .ttf to this folder. Done.
This adds the fonts to a .fonts folder in your /home directory. I wonder if there's a way of doing this globaly.
Update: Global fonts
1. copy the .ttf font to /usr/share/fonts/ in superuser mode.
2. run fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/ again in superuser mode.
