As with other Unix operating systems, Linux has a shell or shell script which makes so-called intermediary between the user and the operating system. One of the most used shell is called bash (which stands for Bourne Again SHell). This shell has a very simple interface, since it is a black screen in text mode which is a type indicator that it expects orders. This indicator is called the prompt. The following image shows a linux terminal show bash.

Installing TrueType fonts on Linux

Posted by admin in Linux, Tips

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.
