[SOLVED] New install, Century Schoolbook font is missing

[Barbados99]

I just installed Mint 19 Cinnamon. Everything is working well but I noticed that the LibreOffice does not have Century Schoolbook font. I use this font a lot... I just like it. The Mint software manager has a ton of font packages available for install, but I don't see one with Century Schoolbook. What should I install to get the font? Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

century schoolbook is not free. where did you use the font from? just copy it to your .fonts in the home directory. or search the internet for something like "i want to download century schoolbook font"

I remember "Century™ Schoolbook L" was included for many years in OpenOffice/LibreOffice.


Here is a solution.

Download.

Create a folder.

Code: Select all

$ mkdir ~/.fonts

Copy the fonts.

Code: Select all

$ cp century_schoolbook_l_roman.ttf ~/.fonts/

Restart Libreoffice.

Alternatively use this:

I downloaded the font from that link and added it to my fonts, and then did a refresh of my cache (sudo fc-cache -fv). It worked. Thank you very much.
