Hi All,

Reah here and this is my first couple of days using Opensuse. Very new to Linux but had no real problems I have not been able to sort out so far.

Have used mint for a couple of months but really like the feel and control from opensuse. Just want to settle with one os and looks like opensuse answer all my computing needs.

I have a question I have searched for but no answer yet.

I want to install free-sans fonts as I like the look and feel of them. But can not find where to down load or how to install on my system.

I have had a good search today but maybe im just missing the obvious.

Thanks in advance reahjw6 one very happy new open suse user.

Hi
AFAIK, the fonts are in the texlive-gnu-freefont-fonts rpm…?
