Install True Type Fonts on Debian and Ubuntu Linux

Put your .ttf file in one of these directories:

  • “${HOME}”/.fonts
  • /usr/share/fonts/
  • /usr/local/share/fonts/
  • ~root/.fonts/

and optionally execute:

sudo fc-cache -f -v

Update (Thanks to Arthur Furlan):

This updates the font cache. But there is no need to execute it, your fonts will be made accessible once you just place them in the right directory.

Cool font website: dafont.com

Enjoy!

  1. You can also copy the TTF file to your $HOME/.fonts directory. Furthermore, I’ve never had to run the command “fc-cache”… don’t ask me why. :P

    • I read about the .fonts at the user’s home but did not know there was no need to execute “fc-cache”! Thank you a lot!!! :)
