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.
