How to install fonts for CentOS 7?
30,530
Create a folder in your home
directory called .fonts
:
mkdir /home/$USER/.fonts
Unzip the files and move them there. Now run the command from your terminal:
fc-cache -v
fc-cache-64 -v
And the font should be available now.
More info, see man fc-cache
:
DESCRIPTION
fc-cache scans the font directories on the system and builds font information cache files for applications using fontconfig
for their font handling.
If directory arguments are not given, fc-cache uses each directory in the current font configuration. Each directory is
scanned for font files readable by FreeType. A cache is created which contains properties of each font and the associated
filename. This cache is used to speed up application startup when using the fontconfig library.
Note that fc-cache must be executed once per architecture to generate font information customized for that architecture.

Just learning, and trying to install a new font into my system.
So far, I have created a directory "fonts", and unzip "oregon" fonts into this folder. Now the fonts are in /home/denny/fonts.
How do I move these fonts to /usr/share/fonts? I have also created a new folder "oregon" in this fonts directory. I THINK all my default fonts are in this directory.
I know I am missing something here.
Thank you, Denny
