Fedora, CentOS install TTF/OTF fonts

Step 1: Switch to the font download directory:

grep OTF 1 Richard Richard   16676 July    rbno2light_a.otf1 Richard Richard   17912 July   RBNO2LIGHT.OTF

Step 2: Switch to root User:

Su

Step 3: Create a new/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype directory

mkdir /usr/share/fonts/default/truetype

Step 4: Copy the font to the new directory

CP rbno2light*.otf/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype/

Step 5: Switch to the directory where the fonts are located

[Email protected] downloads]# cd/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype/

Step 6: Create a Fonts.scale

[[email protected] truetype]# ll total dosage +-rw-r--r--.1Root root16676December1  -: -RBNO2LIGHT_A.OTF-rw-r--r--.1Root root17912December1  -: -Rbno2light.otf[[email protected] truetype]# ttmkfdir [[email protected] truetype]# ll total dosage --rw-r--r--.1Root root2December1  +:xxFonts.scale-rw-r--r--.1Root root16676December1  -: -RBNO2LIGHT_A.OTF-rw-r--r--.1Root root17912December1  -: -Rbno2light.otf

Step 7: Create a Fonts.dir

[[ Email protected] truetype]# Mkfontdir [[email protected] truetype]# ll total dosage --rw-r--r--.1Root root2December1  +:xxFonts.dir-rw-r--r--.1Root root2December1  +:xxFonts.scale-rw-r--r--.1Root root16676December1  -: -RBNO2LIGHT_A.OTF-rw-r--r--.1Root root17912December1  -: -Rbno2light.otf

Step 8: Add the font path to the X font serve path (or [[email protected] downloads]#/usr/sbin/chkfontpath--add/usr/share/fonts/default/ TrueType):

[Email protected] truetype]# Chkfontpath--add/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype

Step 9: Update font information cache

[Email protected] truetype]# Fc-cache

Step 10: View fonts

grep RB/usr/share/fonts/default/truetype/rbno2light.otf:rbno2 light:style=Regular/usr/share/fonts/ Default/truetype/rbno2light_a.otf:rbno2 Light Alternative:style=regular
