Installing Fonts in Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)
First, you can find some good free font downloads at http://www.sostars.com. I downloaded a stencil font called “Ver Army.” I unzipped the file, and found a .ttf font file.
I learned how it install it from this page. Here’s a summary:
To install Microsoft Windows fonts: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
To install Red Hat Liberation fonts: sudo apt-get install ttf-liberation
To install any other kind of font (including the one I downloaded from sostars.com):
mkdir ~/.fonts(make a font directory in your home directory if one doesn’t exist already)mv ver-army.ttf ~/.fonts(move your ttf file into the .fonts folder)- Restart the computer
