Hello All,<br>
<br>
I have a bunch of .ttf files and want to add to Fedora 12 system<br>
(system-wide, not per-user). What is the standard way of adding these<br>
fonts now?<br>
I remember the old way, using ttmkfdir, chkfontpath, fc-cache, etc. but<br>
those packages seem to be obsolete now and they are not even included<br>
with Fedora 12 repos. <br></blockquote></div><br>What I did (all done as root):<br><br>1. Create a new directory is /usr/share/fonts:<br> mkdir /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts<br><br>2. Make sure the directory permissions are the same as other<br>
directories in /usr/share/fonts<br> # ls -ld /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/<br> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-12 10:18 /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/<br><br>3. Move all your extra true type fonts into this directory, and make<br>
sure that the permissions are correct (u=rw,go=r).<br><br>4. I created a fonts.dir and fonts.scale in that directory<br>using ttmkfdir (I think), but I'm not sure that's necessary.<br>You probably just need to re-start X and log everyone out/in.<br clear="all">
