Fonts in Ubuntu

Arg I got foot and mouth.

What an **** they stole my tutorial.

Had he copied your tutorial word-for-word then it would be fair to claim he stole your tutorial but they are simply two blogs on the same subject. BTW, your link goes to a GIMP tutorial instead of the fonts one.

What an **** they stole my tutorial.

As Chief Editor of http://www.ubuntuts.com I would like the readers to judge if the posts, their links are listed below, are the same or better said is the Ubuntuts.com post a plagiarism of AJB2k3's post?


http://www.ubuntuts.com/how-to-install-fonts-in-ubuntu/

http://www.s284317130.websitehome.co...ials/font.html



I would like to advise AJB2k3 to read CAREFULLY before shouting that way.

Cheers...

P.S.: I would like to invite AJB2k3 to become an author at Ubuntuts.com and contribute for this community driven website rather than blaming it for plagiarism.

This article might be of help:

http://www.ubuntuts.com/how-to-install-fonts-in-ubuntu/

Actually that article really isn't of any help to the issue at hand (Neither is AJB2K's tutorial on installing fonts) as I'm not interested in installing them, I'm interested in FINDING the good ones in the Main and Universe repositories.

Aller is my favorite.

It is crisp, clear, and professional.

Public apology guys, I'm an ejit.
@ AlbHeart - after this act of stupidity I highly doubt they would accept me.
@ Stochastic - I dunno if it will help but there is a program called fontforge that may be able to help out as well as 1001freefont.com

AJB2K3, I am sure they will accept you.
We are dealing with Ubuntu which is a community based development and we respect its philosophy.
We are looking forward to any tutorial you could post to Ubuntuts.com.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask it:

Will having this many fonts slow down certain applications?

I once included a lot of fonts on Windows, and it slowed down how fast certain applications loaded, because those applications had to load fonts it seemed. Has anyone experienced this in Ubuntu? Is this going to make the Gimp come up slow?

Yes, OO.org does slow down, Gimp used to but I don't have so many anymore.
