1. Create folder under “/usr/share/fonts”

e.g. mkdir /usr/share/fonts/myfonts

2. Change font file permission

e.g. chmod 775 -R /usr/share/fonts/myfonts

3. fc-cashing on the font directory

1. Make a new directory in your home called .fonts (note leading . )
2. Copy the downloaded TTF file into this directory
3. Change directory to .fonts (cd ~/.fonts/)
4. Run the command: mkfontscale (creates fonts.scale)
5. Run the command: mkfontdir (creates fonts.dir)
6. Run the command: fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts (rebuilds ~/.fontconfig/)

e.g.

cd /usr/share/fonts
fc-cache myfonts


4. Done!
