Poor man guide for fonts in Fedora… #15

Open Tokariew opened 3 years ago

Tokariew commented 3 years ago

To install pcf fonts on Fedora:

copy pcf fonts to one of symlinked directory in /etc/X11/fontpath.d, go into directory and run:

sudo mkfontdir
xset fp rehash

After that check if fonts are detected with:

xlsfonts | grep tg # example for Tangar fonts

Why?

Fedora use somewhat different font path, as seen below

This is folder with symlinks. So to install pcf fonts we can select one of symlinked directories…

fc-cache don't refresh pcf fonts, use xset fp rehash
