Howto add fonts to Ubuntu 11.10



There is a lot of fonts in Ubuntu 11.10 repository but not enough to maintain the stability of documents created from Windoze environment because you need the same font used for those documents yet some of them were not in the repository at all. Here is what I've done to manage this :

1. Create a .fonts folder in your Home directory
2. Copy the ttf files you have (you can download some free true type fonts or just copy it from Windoze folder.
3. Open your terminal emulator and type sudo fc-cache -fv
4. Done
