Adding Fonts to Linux

Installing TTF fonts in CentOS/RedHat

Installing TTF fonts is very easy. As always with system files, you will need root access.
To install, follow these simple commands;

Check if directory /usr/share/fonts/TTF exists, if it does not exist, create it.


# mkdir /usr/share/fonts/TTF



Copy any *.TTF file font you want to install to /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ directory then run the command:


# /sbin/service xfs reload



Thats all!
