INSTALLING TRUETYPE FONTS:

INSTALLING TRUETYPE FONTS:

In Short: The simple copy and paste method of installing your fonts.

Copy the code below:

gksu nautilus /usr/share/fonts/truetype

Open the terminal:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

Paste the code into the Terminal: Edit > Paste.

Push the Enter Key on your keyboard and then enter your password and then click OK.

Nautilus should open to the truetype folder.

Make a new folder (of the name of your choice).

How? Right click with the mouse in the truetype folder we just opened and choose Create Folder and give the folder a name.

Double click the folder to open it.

Add your fonts to the directory you made by copying them and then just pasting them into the folder…

Alert Ubuntu that you added the fonts.

Copy the code below:

sudo fc-cache -f -v

Open the terminal:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal

Paste the code into the Terminal: Edit > Paste.

Push the Enter Key on your keyboard (and then enter your password if needed).

The command above adds them into the system so they become available.
