 Install fonts on Linux Mint using Terminal commands

To install some fixed width fonts you can run in the Terminal:

sudo apt-get install console-terminus ttf-dejavu ttf-droid ttf-inconsolata xfonts-terminus

 

Some other fonts designed for desktop readability can be installed with the command:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts ttf-liberation ttf-ubuntu-font-family ttf-xfree86-nonfree

 

To install the Google Web Fonts, open the Terminal and press the Enter key after you copy each command:

wget http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/install-google-fonts

chmod +x install-google-fonts

./install-google-fonts

This is a script that downloads all the fonts from the Google Font Directory and installs them under /usr/share/fonts/truetype/google-fonts/

If you want to remove them later, simply delete that folder.

 

To install the Windows Vista fonts (like Calibri and Consolas, but not the Segoe UI font), open the Terminal and press the Enter key after you copy each command:

wget http://plasmasturm.org/code/vistafonts-installer/vistafonts-installer

chmod +x vistafonts-installer

./vistafonts-installer

This script extracts the Vista fonts from PowerPointViewer.exe, directly from the Microsoft website, so it is legal to use as it downloads the fonts from the official website.

 

To install something else, like the sharp fonts, just use the command:

wget http://webupd8.googlecode.com/files/sharpfonts-2.1.sh

chmod +x sharpfonts-2.1.sh

sudo ./sharpfonts-2.1.sh

If you are not happy with the sharp fonts, you can revert back to polished fonts by deleting some files:

rm /etc/fonts/alias.conf

rm /etc/fonts/local.conf

rm /etc/fonts/misc.conf

rm /etc/fonts/msfonts-rules.conf
