Installing fonts in Ubuntu

Three standard locations where fonts are kept:

  • /usr/share/fonts (system-wide)
  • /usr/local/share/fonts
  • /home/<username>/.fonts (for the user only)

sudo nautilus /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
then create FONTFOLDER
then copy TTF (font) files to FONTFOLDER
then rebuild the font information
fc-cache -f -v
now you have the teen font installed!
