how to add ttf font?
I am trying to add a .ttf file containing the canadian characters for languages like cree and inuktitut. The repositories dont have such a font, but I found a free one here:
http://www.languagegeek.com/ Gnome help says I can add a font by opening the font folder (opened in System>Preferences>Font) and copying my font file to it. This does not work. Copy and paste does nothing (it doesn't copy the file and it gives no error feedback). Thinking it might be permission related, i opened a terminal and did a sudo cp of the file to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/mstcorefonts (where there are plenty other .ttf files). The file copies, and has the same permissions as all the other files, but still the font isn't recognized by Gnome (or OOo, or gedit) So how does one install a .ttf file? |
