I need to copy all files from **/home/antranig/downloads/fonts to *usr/share/wine/font *
**I did this command in the terminal: **
*antranig@linux-plfp:~> su
**Password: *
***linux-plfp:/home/antranig # *** *cp -r /home/antranig/downloads/fonts usr/share/wine/fonts *
**But the terminal shown this: ***cp: cannot stat ‘/home/antranig/downloads/fonts’: No such file or directory
*Please help me! How can I copy all files to another folder in the terminal?
Hi
That would indicate that the directory called font doesn’t exist?
If the fonts are required for the user, then normally copying into ~/.fonts (note the .) should suffice?
Does wine not follow the system fonts or user font locations, seems strange to copy them into the system wine directory or ~/.wine diretory?
Your command also missed a / or two…
cp -ar ~/downloads/fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts/
I’ll make a wild guess. You should have used “Downloads” rather than “downloads”. Filenames in linux are case-sensitive.
IMO nrickert is correct to address the immediate issue, but the User is making another couple mistakes…
Unless the console prompt is already at root, the command is missing a leading forward slash in front of “usr”
And, unless I’m mistaken, he’s also copying to the target creating a second fonts directory instead of replacing the target (which I’m pretty certain should be his intention).
So, IMO one of several <correct> ways to do this might be, and I’m using a wildcard just to illustrate it’s use)
cp -r /home/antranig/Downloads/fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts
The same, but without using a wildcard
cp -r /home/antranig/Downloads/fonts /usr/share/wine
HTH,
TSU
I have tried to use folder’s name with capital letter, but it doesn’t work
antranig@linux-plfp:~> su
*Password: *
linux-plfp:/home/antranig # cp -ar /home/antranig/Downloads/Fonts usr/share/wine/fonts
cp: cannot create directory ‘usr/share/wine/fonts’: No such file or directory
*linux-plfp:/home/antranig # *
Hi
Your missing the leading / in your command, it’s **/**usr/share/wine/fonts else if it doesn’t exist then create it if that’s where you want them to go;
mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/fonts
linux-plfp:/home/antranig # cp -ar /Downloads/Fonts /usr/share/wine
cp: cannot stat ‘/Downloads/Fonts’: No such file or directory
linux-plfp:/home/antranig # cp -ar /downloads/fonts /usr/share/wine
cp: cannot stat ‘/downloads/fonts’: No such file or directory
linux-plfp:/home/antranig # cp -ar /home/antranig/downloads/fonts /usr/share/wine/fonts
cp: cannot stat ‘/home/antranig/downloads/fonts’: No such file or directory
Can’t copy the folder
If it does not exist create it if it does exist check the permissions.
I have seen in the wine folder as “Show hidden folders” but there’s no “.fonts” folder.
Wine has fonts in this folder: /usr/share/wine/fonts
I want to use a QUIK program in wine, but it doesn’t show a correct fonts (like this jabberwocks ???՛՛՛՛՛;;;/՛;լլ՛ instead the normal letters). So I decided to copy fonts from Windows Fonts to /usr/share/wine/fonts
If the directory exists and the files don’t copy to it then check permissions something is off there. There are no magic directories they all follow the same rules and regulations set by the permissions.
Bro, please help me to do that. How to check, fix…?

Hi
Your not checking your commands…
Is there a folder called /usr/share/wine/fonts?
ls -la /usr/share/wine/fonts
If you get an error, THEN;
mkdir -p /usr/share/wine/fonts
cp -r /home/antranig/downloads/fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts/
Note the * (wildcard) and the trailing / after the target directory.
Just use the -r so it will change permissions to root:root.

Try /home/antranig/Downloads/fonts
note the capital D
Right. And this has already been posted by nrickert in comment#3.
And according to everything else that’s been posted here already, I would guess the exact command should be this:
cp -r /home/antranig/Downloads/fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts
Which already has been suggested by tsu2 in comment#4, btw…:sarcastic:
If that doesn’t work, it might be a good idea if you posted the contents of your downloads (or Downloads) folder and the exact name of that folder:
ls -ld /home/antranig/[dD]ownloads/
ls -l /home/antranig/[dD]ownloads/

The error indicates that the source does not exist.
Ken
The errors generated with these tries indicates that the problem is with your source location, not target destination.
You probably have a problem with camel case (capitalizations).
To resolve:
First determine exactly how your “Fonts/fonts” (or however) is really named…
ls /home/antranig
Note how the word “fonts” is spelled with capitalizations. My guess is it’s “Fonts” with a capitalization.
Now, execute the command with the proper capitalizations, my guess is the following will work
cp -r /home/antranig/Downloads/Fonts/ /usr/share/wine
Note however that the above command will copy your fonts to a wine folder with a a Fonts folder (also capitalized) and that can be an issue if it’s not supposed to be capitalized. If you need to fix that, then the following is one way to do it… The following is a combo command that first creates your destination folder uncapitalized, then copies the contents of your existing ~/Downloads/Fonts/ folder to the destination folder just created.
mkdir /usr/share/wine/fonts && cp -r /home/antranig/Downloads/Fonts/* /usr/share/wine/fonts/
