 Hello and welcome today. We're going to be looking at installing more fonts on your Linux system. I'm going to be using Debian here So I'm going to be using an app to aptitude package manager But what we're doing should be pretty standard, you know, just different in package managers if you're on a non-debian based system But real quick your your Distribution should have a number of font packages in their repositories So if I was to use after aptitude, I'm gonna use aptitude because I just like the way the output looks better It's a little line-by-line clearer for me But you can use after apt to get similarly I'm gonna say search and all this type in fonts now not everything in this list is gonna be font Some might be font applications, but let's go ahead and scroll up through our list here And under the teas you'll see some here that start with TTF that would be an example of Fonts you can install and you can also see the description here quickly and so like this TTF font right here is some juicy fonts handwriting fonts So if I want to install that you can see using aptitude if it has an eye It's already installed Pete is not so if I wanted to install this TTF Some juicy fonts. It's a funny name Anyway, I'm gonna go pseudo apt or aptitude or apt to get Install and the name of that package and it'll probably ask for your password password, which I've already typed in and Now that those fonts that package of fonts are installed and you can look through your package manager and see a number of fonts That are in there available to you But if you want to go outside that those are a lot of basic fonts In fact, let me go real quick search that again come go back up here For example, you might want to install something like these MS core these Microsoft true type fonts because those might be fonts that are commonly used by people especially coming from a Windows system and Certain applications like Word documents and stuff may not display properly if you don't have the same fonts as them So some of these packages might be good to install so Just look through and see what fonts you want to install Again, that's your package manager. There's lots of fonts in there But you don't really get to see them until you install them and then you go through them You don't know which ones are in each package And you might be creating something and you want to look at the fonts and you want something made up being one of those packages So let's look at installing packages or fonts outside of what's in your repositories Here if you were to Google search free fonts one of the very first sites that's gonna come up is this 1001 free fonts and they have lots of fonts. They show you what they look like right here You can even type in your custom text here if you wanted to you can see like Linux and then you can say update And I'll actually show you those fonts with whatever words you type so you know exactly what the words and some of these are very artistic not actually Letters, but you also break it down to category Do you want ones that are medieval looking ones that are look like Halloween or sci-fi or A typewriter so you can narrow down your search like that. But how do you install these? Well, first thing you want to do is download The font file, which is going to download a zip file and you can unzip it using whatever I use unzip from the shell But if you are in your GUI package manager should be able to just double-click or right-click and say extract to here And you can see that we have one right here called my type font. So What we need to do is install well, there's different ways to do this I'm gonna show you in this drill how to do it from a GUI interface and if you're on something like Ubuntu or Linux Mint, you're going to probably already have a font manager installed. So here I am in my File browser and I can double-click this and it opens it up in an application My font manager and I can quickly click install also tells you the name of the font here my type of font Which sometimes the file name of the the TTF or in some cases the OTF files May not actually be the name of the font So you want to look here with the name of the font is so that when you go into your word document or GIMP or something Where you type you know the name of the font. It's going to be listed up here at the top All you have to do is click install and it'll tell you that it's installed And if I was to open up something like Ryder LibreOffice here, and I type in my What was it called my? type of font there it is it's installed and again if your system doesn't already have a font manager installed Just do sudo apt install font dash. Let me make this full screen here Manager and I already have that installed so it's not going to install it again But there you go you can install that and again once you do that You should be able to double-click on a TTF or any type of font file and then click install We'll give you a preview and you click install Now one other important thing to realize when you do this, so let me download another font here I'll just download this one here again. I'll unzip that Carbon type and If I go here again, I can go carbon type I double-click that again look up here to make sure you know It's called carbon type again because the file name is not necessarily the font name. I'll install that Go back over here if I come up here and I type in Carbon it's not found. Why is it not found? Well, if you already have a lot of a lot of application LibreOffice skimp you try to install a font while the programs are open It's not going to update the list inside that program So we'll have to be sure to exit out of The application and then we'll restart my writer and now I should be able to type in Carbon type and there it is I can type also remember when you're working with fonts They are under copyright. So you have to look at the licenses on this white website. They quickly show you it's free This one's under a public domain GPL, which doesn't make sense. You can't be under both But well, I guess you know that I don't think you can do that for really Some are free for personal use some are free for commercial use Pretty much everyone on this website you can use for personal use, but if you're gonna use it for commercial use, you know flyers ads Videos you're going to be using some sort of commercial usage be sure you read The licenses and some of them you might have to purchase licenses just to let you know But they quickly show you here some are free some are free for personal use Blah blah blah you can also contact the creator if you wanted to purchase a license But for most part if you're just doing stuff for yourself personally, it's not commercial use I think every font on this website will be good for that So yeah, that's using a font manager to install stuff in the next video. We're going to look at installing stuff From the shell and then we're going to look at bulk installing a bunch of fonts We're going to write a script that pulls down a bunch of fonts from this 1001 website, which may I haven't read but might violate their Policies, but we're going to do it anyway Anyway, until then I do. Thank you for watching And I hope that you have a great day
