This article introduces the knowledge of "installing new fonts in Linux system". 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!

First, view the system font

Before starting the installation, let's check the fonts that have been installed on the system.

To see the fonts that are already installed on the system, we can use the fc-list command to view them. If the command is not available on the system, we need to install the relevant software package first.

On centos, use the following command to install: yum install-y fontconfig mkfontscale

On ubuntu, use the following command to install: sudo apt-get-y install fontconfig xfonts-utils

To view the Chinese fonts that have been installed on the system, we can use the following command: fc-list: lang=zh

Second, install fonts

Create a subdirectory such as win under the / usr/share/fonts directory

[root@FR-APP1 fonts] # mkdir win

In CentOS, the location of the font library is the fonts directory seen in the image above, so the first thing we need to do is to find the Chinese font file and put it in this directory, while the Chinese font file can be found in our windows system. Open the C:\ Windows\ Fonts directory under disk c:

We just need to copy the font we need and upload it to the linux server. Here I choose bold and boldface (these two fonts are used in the report). You can see that there are two files with the suffix ttf.

Then upload the above two fonts to the / usr/shared/fonts/win directory: / usr/share/fonts/win

Build font index information and update font cache:

[root@FR-APP1 win] # mkfontscale

[root@FR-APP1 win] # mkfontdir

[root@FR-APP1 win] # fc-cache

# just restart the application
