This article introduces the knowledge of "how to add beautiful fonts to Linux distribution". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

With the exception of Ubuntu, which uses its own set of fonts, which looks pretty from the start, all other Linux distributions have the disadvantage of ugly fonts. Because of this, many users are trying to create a new way to enhance the rendering of text in various distributions.

This is the reason for the Infinality project, whose main purpose is to provide * font rendering to users using any Linux-based operating system by adding patches.

1. Infinality for Arch Linux

Add infinality-bundle,infinality-bundle-multilib (for users using 64-bit systems) and infinality-bundle-fonts repositories to your / etc/pacman.conf file:

[infinality-bundle]

Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/$arch

[infinality-bundle-multilib]

Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/multilib/$arch

[infinality-bundle-fonts]

Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/fonts

Execute the sudo pacman-Syu command to refresh the warehouse, and then run:

Sudo pacman-S infinality-bundle infinality-bundle-multilib ibfonts-meta-extended (for 64-bit systems)

Sudo pacman-S infinality-bundle ibfonts-meta-extended (for 32-bit systems)

When asked if you want to replace the freetype2 of the fontconfig package, answer YES. Restart your computer when you are finished.

II. Infinality for Fedora

Execute the following command in the terminal window

Sudo rpm-Uvh http://www.infinality.net/fedora/linux/infinality-repo-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

Sudo yum install freetype-infinality fontconfig-infinality

Restart your machine.

Open the Library tab in YaST, select the namtrac:subpixel repository, and click "switch the version of the system package to this repository".

Http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/namtrac:/subpixel/openSUSE_13.1/

Mark all uninstalled packages in namtrac:subpixel for installation, and then install the fontconfig-infinality package from openSUSE's official software repository.

In the font setting options, select Subpixel Hinting to use system Settings, or set to RGB order with fine tuning. Restart your system.
