Hello All,
I have a bunch of .ttf files and want to add to Fedora 12 system
(system-wide, not per-user). What is the standard way of adding these
fonts now?
I remember the old way, using ttmkfdir, chkfontpath, fc-cache, etc. but
those packages seem to be obsolete now and they are not even included
with Fedora 12 repos.
What I did (all done as root):
1. Create a new directory is /usr/share/fonts:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts
2. Make sure the directory permissions are the same as other
directories in /usr/share/fonts
# ls -ld /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-01-12 10:18 /usr/share/fonts/extrafonts/
3. Move all your extra true type fonts into this directory, and make
sure that the permissions are correct (u=rw,go=r).
4. I created a fonts.dir and fonts.scale in that directory
using ttmkfdir (I think), but I'm not sure that's necessary.
You probably just need to re-start X and log everyone out/in.
