Installing on Linux:
|
||||
|
||||
There are many different Linux distributions and some handle font management
|
||||
differently. These instructions are for the most common Linux distributions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create a folder called ".fonts" in your home directory.
|
||||
Example: mkdir -p ~/.fonts
|
||||
|
||||
2. Copy the otf files in the "Inter (OTF)" folder into your .fonts directory
|
||||
Example: cp "Inter (OTF)/*.otf" ~/.fonts/
|
||||
|
||||
You may have to restart apps and/or your window server session.
|
||||
|
||||
Again, these instructions are for the most common Linux distributuons like
|
||||
Ubuntu and might not apply to you. Refer to the documentation for your
|
||||
distribution for more details on how to manage fonts in your OS.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Q&A
|
||||
|
||||
Q: I installed the fonts but they don't show up
|
||||
A: Try rebuilding the font database:
|
||||
sudo fc-cache -f -v
|
||||
Then restart your program(s).
|
||||
|
||||
Q: Is there a way to tell if Inter was actually installed?
|
||||
A: Try running: fc-list | grep "Inter"
|
||||
|
||||
Q: ~/.fonts is an old thing. The new thing is ~/.local/share/fonts
|
||||
A: Yes, that is true for recent distributions. These distros usually support
|
||||
~/.fonts as well making these instructions work for everyone. Yay.
