I have a massive collection of TrueType fonts that I want to add to my Fedora fc 14 installation. Installing TrueType fonts in new versions of Fedora is actually quite easy. To install the font system wide, all you need to do is put it in the fonts in a directory. To be consistent, create a new directory under “/usr/share/fonts”. For example, I created directory:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/myfonts
to store a collection of fonts. To make sure that the fonts is accessible to the world, do
chmod 775 -R /usr/share/fonts/myfonts
then all you have to do is run “fc-cache” command on that directory, e.g
cd /usr/share/fonts
fc-cache myfonts
And bamm! the new fonts should now appear on all applications such as Gimp, openoffice, etc.
