How do I install fonts? Can I use Windows (.ttf) fonts?
Yes, you can. Here’s how you install fonts: • Under the “System” menu in the tray, choose “Preferences” and then “Fonts.” • Click on the “Details…” button. • Click on “Go to font folder.” Now simply drag & drop your fonts into the “Fonts” window to add them. You may have to log out and log in again to see them actually show up in that folder. If you have any programs open, you will need to close then and then open them again, to have the new fonts show up in those programs. By the way, there’s also a very easy way to install all of the common Windows fonts on Linux. You don’t usually have to do this on Fedora (because it comes with fonts called the “Liberation” fonts that are the same exact size as the Windows fonts), but if you want to do it, here’s how: • Open a Terminal. • Become root: su – • Download the MS Core Fonts Smart Package File: wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.
