# Setting Up Fonts in Linux

Here are 3 thing you can do to help bring standardized fonts to Linux systems.

1. Install Linux Mint fonts on your system. Fonts can vary from Linyx distro to Linux distro. Since Mint and Ubuntu are the most common, installing fonts used in those distros will generally make your system more "Linux standardized". See the bottom of this post to see how to do this because that command line is too big to put here.

2. Install freeware MS fonts. This will bring in the earliest MS fonts, but not anything from Win8, Win10, or Win11. To do this type:

<br>sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer<br>

3. Copy Win fonts from a MS Win 10/11 computer. Install them onto your Linux Machine.

a. Copy all the fonts from C:/Windows/Fonts onto a flash drive. (A Ventoy Live USB drive works great for this if you use Ventoy to install Linux)

b. Find where your Linux system stores fonts. (/usr/share/fonts in Debian)

<br>find /usr -iname \*.ttf |head -n 20<br>

c. Create folder for the MS fonts

<br>cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype<br>sudo mkdir winfonts<br>sudo cd winfonts<br>

d. Copy fonts from USB stick. l (the "/media/user/drive/Fonts" will be different on your system)

<br>sudo cp /media/user/drive/Fonts/*.ttf<br> <br>sudo chown root.root *.ttf<br> <br>sudo chmod 644 *.ttf<br> <br>sudo mkfontdir<br><br>sudo fc-cache<br>

# Install Default Mint Fonts on Other Linux Distros

To install the Linux MInt fonts (which should be the same a Ubuntu) you type in this command:
(It hasn't been verified that Mint and Ubuntu have the same fonts)

If a certain font is not available in your distro's repository, remove it from the command below. For example, MX Linux does not have fonts-khmeros-core, so you would remove that.

<br>sudo apt install fonts-beng fonts-beng-extra fonts-dejavu-core fonts-deva fonts-deva-extra fonts-droid-fallback fonts-font-awesome fonts-freefont-ttf fonts-gargi fonts-gubbi fonts-gujr fonts-gujr-extra fonts-guru fonts-guru-extra fonts-indic fonts-kacst fonts-kacst-one fonts-kalapi fonts-khmeros-core fonts-knda fonts-lao fonts-liberation fonts-liberation fonts-lklug-sinhala fonts-lohit-beng-assamese fonts-lohit-beng-bengali fonts-lohit-deva fonts-lohit-gujr fonts-lohit-guru fonts-lohit-knda fonts-lohit-mlym fonts-lohit-orya fonts-lohit-taml fonts-lohit-taml-classical fonts-lohit-telu fonts-mathjax fonts-mlym fonts-nakula fonts-navilu fonts-noto-cjk fonts-noto-color-emoji fonts-noto-mono fonts-opensymbol fonts-orya fonts-orya-extra fonts-pagul fonts-pagul fonts-quicksand fonts-sahadeva fonts-samyak-deva fonts-samyak-gujr fonts-samyak-mlym fonts-samyak-taml fonts-sarai fonts-sil-abyssinica fonts-sil-padauk fonts-smc fonts-smc-anjalioldlipi fonts-smc-chilanka fonts-smc-dyuthi fonts-smc-gayathri fonts-smc-karumbi fonts-smc-keraleeyam fonts-smc-manjari fonts-smc-meera fonts-smc-rachana fonts-smc-raghumalayalamsans fonts-smc-suruma fonts-smc-uroob fonts-taml fonts-telu fonts-telu-extra fonts-teluguvijayam fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-tibetan-machine fonts-tlwg-garuda fonts-tlwg-garuda-ttf fonts-tlwg-kinnari fonts-tlwg-kinnari-ttf fonts-tlwg-laksaman fonts-tlwg-laksaman-ttf fonts-tlwg-loma fonts-tlwg-loma-ttf fonts-tlwg-mono fonts-tlwg-mono-ttf fonts-tlwg-norasi fonts-tlwg-norasi-ttf fonts-tlwg-purisa fonts-tlwg-purisa-ttf fonts-tlwg-sawasdee fonts-tlwg-sawasdee-ttf fonts-tlwg-typewriter fonts-tlwg-typewriter-ttf fonts-tlwg-typist fonts-tlwg-typist-ttf fonts-tlwg-typo fonts-tlwg-typo-ttf fonts-tlwg-umpush fonts-tlwg-umpush-ttf fonts-tlwg-waree fonts-tlwg-waree-ttf fonts-ubuntu fonts-urw-base35 fonts-yrsa-rasa<br>
