problem with installing fonts
Hi every body
here is the things i did to install some new fonts using tutorial in "LPIC-1 Linux Professional Institute Certification" but they're not showing in libreoffice: first i made a directory in my home directory and put new fonts in it and then running these to commands to make font.dir file : Code:
mkfontscale Code:
FontPath "/home/aliali/Font" |
depending on the Operating system
put the fonts in a "dot" folder ~/.fonts that is a lowercase f in .fonts dot files are hidden files and folders then log out and log back in again |
Hi,
Which distro are you using? If you are using Centos, you should copy font at /usr/share/fonts and run the fc-cache -fv command to build font information. Regards, Yogesh |
i have ubuntu 12.04
is the way i did is right ? i cane use GUI way but i wanted to learn terminal way |
Since Buntu is based on Debian, it should be an easy procedure of copying or moving the sub-directory containing your founts into /etc/fonts and then setting the permissions to match the other sub-directories.

actually i wanted to learn that way of installing font since its one of the topics of LPIC1 ?
can any one help me with that way of installing font |
