Installing .ttf fonts from a CD
How does one install fonts from a CD. I have successfully copied them to my home folder. What is the next step? Thank you in advance for any answers.

Re: Installing .ttf fonts from a CD
Create a folder called .fonts in your home folder, put the ttf's inside that folder.
Alternatively you can put them in /usr/share/fonts, making them system-wide instead of user-wide. You'll need root privileges and you can do that by right-clicking folders and choosing, "Open as Administrator".
After you move the ttf fonts, update the cache in terminal with the command
