install msttcorefonts in using Ubuntu install


Hello
Can I just copy my Ubuntu /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts to Slackware /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts ? Will this work?
Thanks

Well, I just looked at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf (which determines which directories a stock install of Slackware will recursively search for new fonts), and it doesn't list /usr/share/fonts/truetype. So no, that won't work.

Copying the msttcorefonts directory to /usr/share/fonts/TTF (so that you get /usr/share/fonts/TTF/msttcorefonts) will work, though, because /usr/share/fonts/TTF is listed.

Run fc-cache to refresh Fontconfig after copying, and you'll see them.
