The simplest font configuration method in Linux

In Linux, how do I use my favorite fonts? There is a huge basket of online articles, but it is a pity that the more you see it, the more confused. What freetype, xtt, xfs, xft, fontconfig, fc-cache, a bunch of inexplicable professional terms plus a bunch of inexplicable configuration files, but we still need to be confused with the X system.

The long list is the names of various fonts. The higher the priority, the higher the priority. Therefore, you must ensure that your fonts are listed in front of all other Chinese fonts.

The other two are processed as examples. After modification, save and restart the graphic interface. Then you can see the effect.

Look, this is the legendary.
