How to install Windows fonts in Ubuntu

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
It's easy. Just copy .ttf files for exaple to /usr/share/fonts/truetype:

sudo cp {path_from_where_you_copy}*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype

where the {path_from_where_you_copy} is for example:
/home/harry/Documents/

Then run:
sudo fc-cache -fv

If you want to integrate additional (including .ttf) fonts in the OpenOffice.org software, proceed as follows:

   1. In the File Browser go to the {openoffice_install_path}/program directory. For me, it was /usr/lib/openoffice/program, and double-click spadmin, then click 'Run'. The Printer Administration window appears.
   2. Click 'Fonts...' button at the bottom of the window.
   3. The Fonts dialog lists all fonts added for the OpenOffice.org software. You can select and remove fonts using the Remove button or add new fonts with the Add button.
   4. Click Add. The Add Fonts dialog appears.
   5. Enter the directory from which you want to add the fonts. Press the ... button and select the directory from the path selection dialog or enter the directory directly.
   6. A list of the fonts from this directory appears. Select the fonts you want to add. To add all the fonts, click Select All.
    7. To add the selected font(s) click the OK button.

That's all.
