Installing True Type Fonts in Hoary

[bassix]

Hi,

I downloaded some True Type Fonts (TTF) and am trying to install them
(UBUNTU HOARY), however the Gnome Help instructions don't seem to work
for me (copying into the fonts:/// directory), even when I sudo. When
I close and re-open the fonts directory they are then not there. I
even tried some of the instructions on the ubuntuguide.org site and
still didn't work. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help!!

-Steve.

maybe you have to edit the `/etc/fonts/fonts.conf' file and set the correct path for your newly copied fonts...

But these are fonts that I have downloaded myself, they are not part
of a package.

then try putting your fonts in ~/.fonts/ (mkdir ~/.fonts first if
needed), that worked fine for me some months ago

(and i wonder where the documentation about that is actually)

Yes, if you put the fonts in `~/.fonts' you don't need to edit the `/etc/fonts/fonts.conf' as the `~/.fonts' path is there by default

Try coping the fonts to the fonts folder /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and
run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig'. It works for me pecklessly.
