Hello,

Just recently i downloaded some fonts which r zipped (tarred). I want to install these fonts on my system. Can anyone tell me how i can do this? I have Redhat 7.1 installed on my system.

Thankx in advance..
Shri.
 
Hi,

What you would do is something like :

tar zxvf xxxxxx.tar.gz (assuming a gzipped tarball_
mkdir /usr/share/fonts (create a directory to hold fonts)
mv xxxxx/* /usr/share/fonts (move unpacked fonts to new directory)
cd /usr/share/fonts
mkfontdir
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts (as root)
