安装和设置字体 | How to install and setup fonts

1、打开openoffice，可以看到如下的字体列表：

２、打开字体配置文件(需要root权限)：/etc/fonts/fonts.conf，找到如下的配置内容：

!– Font directory list —

dir/usr/share/fonts/dir

dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir

dir/usr/local/share/fonts/dir

dir~/.fonts/dir

增加自己的字体目录(

如蓝色字体)，修改后的结果如下：

!– Font directory list —

dir/usr/share/fonts/dir

dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir

dir/usr/local/share/fonts/dir

dir~/.fonts/dir

dir/devdata/fonts/dir

3、依次执行如下命令：

sudo mkfontscale

sudo mkfontdir

sudo fc-cache -fv

/usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 3 dirs

/usr/share/fonts/X11: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 6 dirs

How To Install Microsoft Text Fonts In Ubuntu Linux distros), you will

find that there is absolutely no trace of any of these fonts.

Ubuntu,

by default, does not include the commonly used Microsoft core fonts in

its installation. The set of fonts that it uses is not supported in

Windows or Mac. This means that if you create a document and send to

your partner for editing, he/she will not be able to view it in the way

that it was originally formatted. Vice versa, you won’t be able to view

the document that your friend sends you in the way that it was

formatted, unless he/she is using the same fonts as you.

Luckily,

installing the Microsoft core fonts package (and any other new fonts) in

Ubuntu is easy. Here’s how you can do it on your own:

Installing Microsoft Core Fonts in Ubuntu

The Microsoft core fonts package consists of the following fonts:* Andale Mono

* Arial Black

* Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Impact

* Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)

* Webdings

To install them, open up your Synaptic Package Manager (System – Administration – Synaptic Package Manager). Scroll down till you find msttcorefonts. Check the box beside it and select Mark for Installation. Click Apply at the menubar to install the fonts package.

Alternatively, if you prefer the terminal way, simply type the following command in your terminal.

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Installing new fonts

Installing

the Microsoft core fonts package is only the beginning. There will be

many occasions where you need to install a new set of fonts for a

specific project. Here is how you can do it :

If you are installing the new fonts for personal use and do not want others to have access to them, simply create a .fonts folder in your Home directory and paste all the fonts into it. Here’s the steps:1. Download the fonts (it should be in zipped format)

2. Extract the fonts.

3. Open nautilus (Places – Home). Press Ctrl + H to reveal all the hidden files and folders.

4. Check if the.fonts folder exist. If not, create the folder and name it .fonts.

5. Copy and paste the new font(s) into the .fonts folder.

6. Restart your application. The fonts should be available for your use now.

If you want to install system-wide and allow others to use it:1. Create a new folder in your Desktop. Name it newfonts

2. Download the new font(s) and extract to the newfonts folder

3. Open a terminal

4. Key in the command: sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/newfonts /usr/share/fonts. This will copy your new font(s) to the system font folder.

5. Restart your application. The new fonts are now available for system-wide use.

If

you are using KDE, there is a font installer application that allows

you to install new fonts easily.The Font Installer application is found

under System Settings.

Better Font Rendering

Now

that you have installed your favorite fonts in your system, here’s a

simple trick to improve the font rendering and make it look nicer.

Open up your System – Preferences –)

Click on the Fonts tab. Under the Rendering section, check on the subpixel smoothing button.

You should notice the differences immediately.

If you are using Ubuntu 8.04 or an earlier version, this is what you need to do:

Type in the following command in the terminal

sudo ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/

Logout and login again. You should see a noticeable difference in the font rendering.
