Install Extra Fonts
This section describes how to install extra fonts from the Kubuntu archives.
-
For international fonts, install the following packages from the Universe repository (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications):
xfonts-intl-arabic xfonts-intl-asian xfonts-intl-chinese xfonts-intl-chinese-big xfonts-intl-european xfonts-intl-japanese xfonts-intl-japanese-big xfonts-intl-phonetic
-
For Microsoft TrueType core fonts, install the msttcorefonts package from the Multiverse repository (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
-
For Ghostscript fonts, install the gsfonts-x11 package (see Chapter 3, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications).
-
After installing any new font, rebuild the font information files by typing the following at a terminal prompt:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
If you prefer to download individual fonts by hand, you can install them easily by opening Konqueror and typing fonts:/// into the location bar. Then you can install the font, either system-wide or for personal use by dragging and dropping into the respective folders.
