font when it is initialized at the time an
application starts. Any changes to the fonts contained in those directories are
detected automatically, so adding fonts is simply a matter of placing files into those
directories, and removing fonts is simply a matter of deleting them.
For example, if you have a compressed tar file named /tmp/newfonts.tgz containing
TrueType fonts, and you wish to install these fonts for your own private use, you
could use these commands:
$ cd ~/.fonts
$ tar xvzf /tmp/newfonts.tgz "*.ttf" "*.TTF"
Or, to install those fonts so that they are accessible system-wide:
# cd /usr/share/fonts
# mkdir newfonts
# cd newfonts
# tar xvzf /tmp/newfonts.tgz "*.ttf" "*.TTF"
To delete all of your personal fonts:
$ rm -rf ~/.fonts/*
To delete the system-wide fonts just installed:
# rm -rf /user/share/fonts/newfonts
Changes will take effect the next time the affected application is started.
