 |
|
I am trying to add ttf fonts to my system.
I'm using inkscape to create some designs.
The fonts do not show up.
eselect fontconfig list does not show the fonts.
I've look at this guide: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fonts
and
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fontconfig
Please throw me a bone.
I manually place them in ~/.local/share/fonts/
| Code: |
/.local/share/fonts $ ll
total 692
-rw-r--r-- 1 cwc cwc 155476 Nov 3 07:45 CursiveSans-Bold.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 cwc cwc 159376 Nov 3 07:45 CursiveSans-Book.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 cwc cwc 168808 Nov 3 07:45 CursiveSerif-Bold.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 cwc cwc 172564 Nov 3 07:45 CursiveSerif-Book.ttf
-rw-r--r-- 1 cwc cwc 43440 Nov 3 07:46 Karla_BoldStencil.ttf

and
/usr/share/fonts
| Code: |
/usr/share/fonts # ll

Probably all that was necessary was to run fc-cache(1), as described on the Fontconfig page:
| Quote: | If a particular font is known to be installed in one of the paths configured for use by Fontconfig, but doesn't appear in the output of fc-list(1), it might be that the Fontconfig cache needs to be refreshed, which can be done by running fc-cache(1):
| Code: | | user $ fc-cache -fv |
|
But i'll also add information about using fc-cache(1) to the main Fonts page.
