Installing the Free UCS outline fonts
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
1. UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
|
|
|
|
The rather awkward "UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD" agglomeration is used to
|
|
denote any system capable of running XFree86 server with FreeType
|
|
<http://www.freetype.org/>, a high-quality free font rasterizer.
|
|
|
|
1.1 KDE local installation
|
|
|
|
Users of KDE can install .ttf files on a per-user basis using the KDE
|
|
Control Center module "kcmfontinst", which may appear in the menu as
|
|
|
|
Settings -> System Administration -> Font Installer
|
|
|
|
This is especially helpful for developers and testers.
|
|
|
|
1.2 Debian GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the
|
|
pre-packed Debian package, as available from the Debian site,
|
|
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/ttf-freefont.html>, or
|
|
any of its mirrors. You can install them by issuing the command
|
|
|
|
apt-get install ttf-freefont
|
|
|
|
|
|
1.3 The rough way
|
|
|
|
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
|
|
in the TrueType format.
|
|
|
|
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
|
|
e.g. /usr/local/share/fonts/default/TrueType/
|
|
|
|
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
|
|
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
|
|
Font Server. Append the directory to the "catalogue=" in the
|
|
/etc/X11/fs/config.
|
|
|
|
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP
|
|
|
|
Probably something like Windows Vista:
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Windows Vista
|
|
* From Start menu, open Control Panels
|
|
* drag-n-drop font files onto Fonts control panel
|
|
may get dialog saying
|
|
"Windows needs your permission to continue"
|
|
* click Continue
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. MacOS X
|
|
|
|
Installing on Mac OS X requires moving the .ttf files to either
|
|
/Library/Fonts/ or ~/Library/Fonts/ depending on whether they should be
|
|
available to all users on your system or just to yourself.
