Over the years I got a nice collection of fonts on my Windows box that I simply can not part with. I was just wondering how would I transfer them to Linux. Would the following do it?
# cp /Windows/WINDOWS/Fonts/*TTF /usr/share/fonts/TTF
Considering that /Windows is my mount-point for Windows partition, and I have specified /usr/share/fonts in my xorg.conf.
go to your home directory "/home/~" and make a directory called .fonts copy all your fonts there and log out and log back in.
They should appear now.
As edward said, Using fonts just need copying them to /home/YOUR_NAME/.fonts directory .
If u r root ( most new linux users use root) then copy the fonts to /root/.fonts
If the .fonts firectory doesnt show, then show hidden files in konquerer is not enabled.
You should see the fonts in KDE control panel(fonts) , if it doesnt detect, then u should check the path.
Same with GNOME .
With GNOME just open Nautilus and in the location bar type "fonts: " and then copy your fonts there
