I am using Ubuntu 6.10 right now which has a font called "Purisa" and I would like to also use this font on my Debian boxes as well. Does anyone know where I can find the .ttf files for Purisa on this Ubuntu machine so I can import it to another Debian box?

Thanks for any info!

Try in /usr/share/fonts.

Luck! :)

You can also look in /home/{user}/.fonts

Yes, I looked in both /home/user/.fonts and also /usr/share/fonts

Code:

carlos@lptp:/usr/share/fonts$ ls

fonts.cache-1  truetype  type1  X11

I don't have a /home/user/.fonts directory and I am unable to locate the mentioned above font in /usr/share/fonts.

Any suggestions? It has to be on this system somewhere...

/home/{user}/.fonts is an optional directory. Did you open /usr/share/fonts/truetype. The code you included implies not.

Yes - I checked there and find the following directories.

Code:

carlos@lptp:~$ cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/

carlos@lptp:/usr/share/fonts/truetype$ ls

arphic        thai                  ttf-gentium          ttf-oriya-fonts

baekmuk        ttf-arabeyes          ttf-gujarati-fonts  ttf-punjabi-fonts

fonts.cache-1  ttf-bengali-fonts    ttf-kannada-fonts    ttf-tamil-fonts

freefont      ttf-bitstream-vera    ttf-lao              ttf-telugu-fonts

kochi          ttf-dejavu            ttf-malayalam-fonts

openoffice    ttf-devanagari-fonts  ttf-mgopen

I think I found it assuming that all I need is the purisa.ttf file.

Code:

carlos@lptp:/usr/share/fonts/truetype/thai$ ls

fonts.cache-1          Loma.ttf                TlwgMono-BoldOblique.ttf

Garuda-BoldOblique.ttf  Norasi-BoldItalic.ttf  TlwgMono-Bold.ttf

Garuda-Bold.ttf        Norasi-BoldOblique.ttf  TlwgMono-Oblique.ttf

Garuda-Oblique.ttf      Norasi-Bold.ttf        TlwgMono.ttf

Garuda.ttf              Norasi-Italic.ttf      TlwgTypewriter-BoldOblique.ttf

Loma-BoldOblique.ttf    Norasi-Oblique.ttf      TlwgTypewriter-Bold.ttf

Loma-Bold.ttf          Norasi.ttf              TlwgTypewriter-Oblique.ttf

Loma-Oblique.ttf        Purisa.ttf              TlwgTypewriter.ttf

Now I should be able to just copy that .ttf file and move it to another system and load that in its font directory, right?
