📖Add More Fonts

Sooner or later, you will have to deal with the doc files created in MS Office, so it is useful to install some MS fonts to Linux (this is related not only to elementary OS).

  1. Open your terminal and run:

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

During the installation, the License Agreement appears on your screen. You need to agree and click OK to install the Microsoft core fonts.

  1. If you wish, you can install some more interesting fonts via the Terminal:

sudo apt install xfonts-terminus fonts-terminus fonts-liberation fonts-liberation2 fonts-crosextra-carlito fonts-crosextra-caladea fonts-cantarell
  1. To add a third-party downloaded font into the system, create the /.fonts/ catalogue in your home folder, and put font files (like font-name.ttf) in there.

To change system default fonts, install Pantheon Tweaks.
