Installation of fonts in 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/malayalam change the permission of the directory. #chmod 775 -R /usr/share/fonts/malayalam Copy required fonts to that directory. #cp /home/user/Downloads/Manorama.ttf /usr/share/fonts/malayalam then all you have to do is run “fc-cache” command on that directory, e.g #cd /usr/share/fonts #fc-cache malayalam
Where there is a shell, there's a way.
