manually install additional fonts

English Applications
1

So, I access to a server using ssh, and I would like to install additional fonts on it (Verdana).
System is Suse 10.1

how could I do that?

tnx :slight_smile:

2

copy the fonts folder to
/usr/share/fonts

3

there’s no other fonts in that folder…
is this because system is ‘empty’ (no x-win)?

do I need to restart anything after copying fonts?

4

Is this openSUSE? or SLED
check
/opt/kde3/share/fonts

5

it’s openSuse

Hi
Use scp to copy the font to the target machine and then move it to
the /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory, once that’s done
run fonts-config. Then as a user update your font cache with the
command fc-cache.

Trouble is I can’t check where it is. !0.1 is no longer supported either. No updates. You should install a newer ver.
