Ubuntu installation font tutorial

Ubuntu comes with a lot of fonts by default. But sometimes you may not be satisfied with these fonts. So what you can do is install additional fonts on Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 or other Linux systems like Linux Mint. Step 1: Get the font The first and most important step is to download the font of your choice. Now you may be thinking about where to download the fonts. Don't worry, Google Search can give you a few free font sites. You can go to the Lost Type font first. Squirrel is also a great place to download fonts. Step 2: Install the font file downloaded in Ubuntu. The font file may be a compressed package. Unzip it first. The format of most font files is TTF (TrueType font) or OTF (OpenType font). Either way, just double-click on the font file. It will automatically open with the font viewer. Here you can see the installation options in the upper right corner. No additional information will be seen when installing fonts. After a few seconds, you will see the status become installed. No guess, the font has been installed. After the installation is complete, you can see your newly installed fonts in GIMP, Pina and other applications. Step 2: I have not mistakenly installed a few fonts on Linux at a time. This is still the second step but just an alternative. The way we saw the fonts installed in Ubuntu above is good. But this has a small problem. When you have 20 new fonts to install. Double clicking on each one is cumbersome and cumbersome. Don't you think so? To install a few fonts at once in Ubuntu, the only thing you have to do is create a .fonts folder in your home directory if it doesn't exist. And copy the decompressed TTF and OTF files into this folder. Enter the home directory in the file manager. Press Ctrl+H to display hidden files in Ubuntu. Right click to create a folder and name it .fonts. The point here is very important. In Linux, adding a dot in front of a file means hiding it in a normal view. Alternative: In addition you can install a font manager to manage fonts in a graphical user interface. To install the font manager in Ubuntu, open the terminal and type the following command: sudo apt-get install font-manager to open the font manager from Unity Dash. Here you can see the installed fonts and options for installing new fonts, deleting fonts, and more. To uninstall the font manager, use the following command: sudo apt-get remove font-manager
