Ubuntu – How to install a .ttf font in Xubuntu 11.10 32-bit

I'm guessing it uses some exotic Apple extension. I can't find anything that will open it. You probably have to be using an Apple machine. That sounds typical of Apple.

It all depends on how you want your system If you just want bare xfce as your desktop and run all the applications you have been running. You can just do

apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop

and remove those unity and gnome related desktop packages using synaptic and choose xubuntu session from gdm during login. Adding to what jpfluery pointed out the given script tends to replace applications such as libreoffice, evolution, totem, empathy, banshee, gedit with some lighter alternatves i.e abiword,gnumeric, thunderbird,parole,pidgin,gmusicbrowser,mousepad etc which are recommended packages of xubuntu. With xubuntu what you will get is

• xfce alternative to gnome,unity
• thunar alternative to nautilus[although they both can co-exist]
• xfwm alternative to compiz[although compiz can be run with xfce] and metacity

If you need xubuntu-artworks, plymouth theme and even gdm theme you can install them as well.
