How to add character sets into font folder

#1 Post by MrDuckGuy »

  • Go to the Menu and then 'Filesystem'.
    Click on 'pfind file finder'.
    In the search window, type the word "Fonts."
    In the radio buttons to the right, select 'System Files'.
    Click to "search."
    Sort your results by clicking the "Filename" heading.
    Find the folder "fonts" in the usr/share/fonts path.
    Double click on it, the folder should open automatically in a new window.
    Download your font package (from a website) and extract the files.
    Most fonts will have a "ttf" extension, therefore, open the shortcut
    in your "fonts" folder with the TTF name.
    Select the files extracted with the "ttf" extension.
    Drag them into the TTF folder, within the fonts folder.
    You're done. The new fonts will be immediately available.
    With some browsers, Google Chrome for example, a restart of the
    program is needed to load the new fonts.
Screenshot below shows highlighted sections which refer to
anything mentioned in the steps that are set out above.
