Here we are again!. Following requests from users I will include "tricks" or actions that can be performed with the operating system, so they will be compiling a series of actions that allow the use of the system adequately.

In this trick we will first see how the change of name for a file or folder on the Windows XP operating system.

The first step will be to select or mark the file or folder to which you want to change the name, for doing this is to simply place your mouse over the object in question and make a click with the left mouse button.

Then there are several ways to change the name, I always recommend the user to choose which one you like best or that it is easier to remember.

Option 1: After selecting the file or folder is to place the mouse pointer on the File menu, which is usually located in the upper left of the window, click on this option displays the menu and appears in an option called Rename.

Option 2: After being selected file or folder, hold your mouse pointer over the object in question and do a click with the right mouse button. In performing this action is presented in a menu screen (this is called contextual menu) and select the option called Rename.

Option 3: After selecting the object in the task pane of the window located on the left side of it, there is a option called Rename a file or folder.

Option 4: After selecting the file or folder, you will notice that the name of it is highlighted in another color, we simply re-click on the text that makes up the name and wait a bit.

Any of the four options above will cause the file or folder name is highlighted and display a box around it, at this point is to type the new name you want to give the order and confirm it either by clicking the Enter key or clicking with the mouse anywhere else.

Good!, The first serious download truetype font that might interest us, there are many sites from which we can make this download, then you are some:

www.fontreactor.com
www.fuentesbrillantes.com
fuentes.laislavirtual.com

After downloading the sources you want to install, these normally come in compressed files in which there is also some file that specifies the authors of the source or use restrictions that might have it. So you have to unzip the files needed to get the files. Ttf (True Type Font), which are the files that interest us.

Once we have the font files, we check the source directory in which the sources are installed on your system, which normally / usr / share / fonts / and if this were not normally defined in the file fonts . conf that is located on the / etc / fonts / in this file located in the first part of a series of directories indicating where you can find situated the sources, the following example shows a list of directories can find:

/ usr / share / fonts /
/ usr/share/X11/fonts /
/ usr / local / share / fonts /
~ /. fonts /

Once you've checked the directories where you can find the sources, probably in the installation directory of the sources there will be a directory called truetype, which are certainly the source of this type installed on your computer. Yet we create a new directory in which to install the new fonts we've downloaded. To do this, suppose that the directory to be created will be called misfuentes therefore this step to execute the following command:

mkdir / usr / share / fonts / misfuentes

This will create the directory "misfuentes" once this copy the source downloaded and unzipped, it only archives. Ttf, andalusia directory. assuming you have unpacked the sources in a directory called "sources" within our own, the command to execute would be:

cp / home / ro / fonts / *. ttf / usr / share / fonts / misfuentes /

The previous action copied all fonts downloaded to the directory where we want to install them. Now it has to update the font cache system to reflect the new fonts installed on your computer. To do this execute the following command:

fc-cache-f

The previous action updates the cache, so the sources that we have installed on your computer should be reflected in the equipment and system. If you have any application that uses open source, new sources are not installed to reflect the application restart.

You must bear in mind that the package 'fontconfig' has to be installed on the system.
