 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel this is Daniel Rosal here I'm going to do a video today on how to install fonts in Ubuntu Linux the easy slash lazy way because there are other ways you can go into the terminal you can go into these user directories and the truth is there's no need to even get that complicated if all you're trying to do is install a font onto your system. So I'm using LXDE as my desktop environment so if you are using genome it's going to look a little bit different but the functionality should still be there so I'm clicking on the start menu here navigate into accessories and I have a utility called font manager and this is a GUI if you have LXDE then you can click on properties and that will call up here the desktop entry so that if you want to launch this from a terminal you can just put this into the terminal font hyphen manager you probably don't even need the exclamation mark you part so let's go ahead and go into that font manager and you can see that I have managed to install 111 fonts and I've done this all using this so if we take a font from the internet I'm going to take Vesper Libre as my font so Google fonts has Vesper Libre as a font and I can choose to download the whole font family the regular medium bold and black or I can just download one of the styles but I'm actually going to download the family here and now that's downloaded a zip archive so I just go ahead and unzip that archive and as you can see it contained four different TTF files TTF stands for true text font there is my black bold medium and regular now I'm just going to move this a little bit smaller here and I'm going to bring my font manager up now I can click on the plus icon for add fonts and I can just go into that a library containing my four different TTF fonts I've just done a control alt to select all four of those at once and all I need to do now is click on open and a hundred and eleven is going to shortly after it after it goes through the cache that's going to go up to 115 and we're going to get our new fonts so I just scroll down here now and you can see Vesper Libre is installed with four different variations and if I click on the arrow here you can see everything that's been installed regular with the sample medium with the sample bold and heavy with a sample now I'm going to go into GIMP for instance and I haven't even you know logged in or logged out or refreshed my system but it should still be should already be usable here so I'm just going to go and throw a black background here onto onto the canvas and I'm going to navigate down to Vesper Libre and as you can see I now have Vesper Libre I have Vesper Libre bold heavy medium and if I want to just open up the text box and this is my new font gonna just swap it over to white here so that you can see it and now it's installed on my system and I can use my newly installed Vesper Libre font on any application in Ubuntu so that's as easy as it is you just need to open up the font manager GUI download your TTF font files from the internet click on plus and then install them you don't even need to restart or you know log in and log out and start a new session your new fonts will be ready to use and there is a massive amount of fonts out there on the internet to enjoy so download those I use Google fonts and other libraries and it can really help you to create more interest in graphics in GIMP inkscape and other graphical programs on Ubuntu Linux thank you guys very much for watching and if you'd like to subscribe for more videos please hit the subscribe button
