How To Install Fonts In Fedora 14

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
