Installing Fonts in Ubuntu 10.04

The last time I installed a font I was using Fedora. Of course, things change and the instructions need to get updated. Here’s how to install a TTF in Ubuntu 10.04.

As root:
# cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
# mkdir my-new-font

Copy your TTF files to the my-new-font directory
# sudo fc-cache -f -v

Restart any running applications that need to use the new font.
