Fonts – Does Ubuntu Provide Extra Fonts Through a Font Package?

fonts

Is there a font-package the Ubuntu ships out that has more fonts?

Perhaps a bit extreme, is this attempt to install all fonts:

sudo apt-cache search ^fonts- | sed 's/^\(fonts-[^ ]*\).*$/\1/' | xargs sudo apt-get install

There is a bit of subjectivity (to say the least) on fonts and font rendering.

That first link has a screen shot of several fonts on several OS and the author concludes :

The Ubuntu and LinuxMint fonts look ugly and way to fat. period!

(Authors words, not mine).

There are a few resources you can look into, you will have to decide for yourself what you like best.

A few resources you might look at (you mentioned you were using Fedora)

Rather the telling you how to configure you fonts, I hope those links help you understand how to configure them to your personal preference.

First download fonts.

Then open Nautilus as root using the command: gksudo nautilus or sudo -H nautilus

Now copy your font file to /usr/share/fonts.

You can also paste it in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family

(Type ctrl+L to navigate quickly)

Now you can easily use those fonts In LibreOffice.
