1.Download the font you would like to have.
2. Extract it somewhere
3. In terminal type:4.(now you have two nautilus opened) copy&paste extracted files into .fonts folderCode:gksudo open nautilus
Destination is /home/username/.fonts . It's hidden folder so you will have to make it visible (ctrl+h if I remembered correct)
5. After you copied the stuff in there, open terminal again.
6.DoneCode:fc-cache -fv
Hope this helps.
Regards.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A QUANTAL QUETZAL IS...BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE PRETZEL AND I LIKE PRETZEL
Not really. I am reading online that my system should have this font. Is this a standard font?
Can it be used with OpenOffice?
New Century Schoolbook is not a free font.
It comes with MS Word though, so let's say an average Windows system usually will have this font already, yes. So, maybe if you have a copy of Word lying around you could try getting the font(s) from there.
You don't need to follow the complicated instructions that GreatDanton has given you, though; just double click on the font file and press the Install Font button.
OK, this is getting me where I want to go. Step 1 to 3 works fine. Not sure by what you mean by "two nautilus opened", but I do have browser window opened and my original terminal window is still open. Yes, ctrl+h shows the hidden folders, but things break down at this point. I have a home folder, no problem there, but I am not seeing a folder with my name on it (or one with username).
In the home folder are:
Desktop
.cache
.config
.dbus
.gnome2
.pulse
.bashrc
.profile
.pukes-cookies
based on the iconography, the last three look like data files and do not open. I've tried exploring the other folders, but do not see a ".fonts" folder.
What am I missing here? I'm aboput to leave for the day, but I'll be checking tomorrow.
Thanks for the help to this point!
