Fonts not visible on ubuntu

[ojacquemart]

Hello,

The fonts are not visible in the terminal configuration (Edit > Profiles > Edit current ...). I have tried to place the fonts in ~/.fonts/ or /usr/share/fonts/truetype.

I followed the instructions from the oh-my-git doc:

# Copy the awesome fonts to ~/.fonts
cd /tmp
git clone http://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts
cd awesome-terminal-fonts
git checkout patching-strategy
mkdir -p ~/.fonts
cp patched/*.ttf ~/.fonts

# update the font-info cache
sudo fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts

Any idea?

Had this problem too, but then I realized that I didn't had downloaded the font files correctly.

To get the fonts discoverable by Ubuntu, they should be right, so do this:

• go to https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/patching-strategy/patched
• left click on any .ttf
• left click on "View Raw" link. It will pop up download screen.
• save the file at ~/.fonts
• fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts, just to make sure ;)

The fonts should be visible after that.

Thanks, but I gave it a try but I got the same result. I cant' see the fonts in the gnome-terminal settings.

@ojacquemart, can you view the font?

By that I mean, if you double click the font file, you should see the typography in the Font Viewer.

[ojacquemart]

Yes, I can view the font and it is marked as installed.

By the way, I installed an another Inconsolata ttf to try (from http://kvz.io/blog/2009/05/25/install-the-best-coding-font/)... and I can choose it in the settings. Finally, I can see the nice icons. I don't really understand why this ttf work and not the one from this repo.

Thanks for your help.

I close the issue. If anynone can try to explain?
