Installing GNU FreeFont
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
GNU FreeFont can be used in any modern operating system.
|
||||
|
||||
This document explains how to install FreeFont on some common systems.
|
||||
|
||||
UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeFont works with any system using the free font rasterizer FreeType
|
||||
<http://www.freetype.org/>. Some features such as glyph substitution and
|
||||
positioning may be handled by the text layout library
|
||||
Pango <http://www.pango.org/>.
|
||||
|
||||
Most recent systems using FreeType2 and Pango handle OpenType fonts well,
|
||||
but on older systems TrueType may perform better.
|
||||
|
||||
* Debian GNU/Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the Debian package,
|
||||
named 'ttf-freefont', available from the Debian Linux site.
|
||||
|
||||
Install the fonts by issuing the command
|
||||
apt-get install ttf-freefont
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* KDE local installation
|
||||
|
||||
Users of KDE can install .ttf files on a per-user basis using the KDE
|
||||
Control Center module "kcmfontinst", which may appear in the menu as
|
||||
|
||||
Settings -> System Administration -> Font Installer
|
||||
|
||||
This is especially helpful for developers and testers.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Generic X Window systems
|
||||
|
||||
1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
|
||||
in the TrueType format.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
|
||||
e.g. /usr/local/share/fonts/default/TrueType/
|
||||
|
||||
3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
|
||||
used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
|
||||
Font Server by editing the config file in /etc/X11/.
|
||||
|
||||
In some systems, you list the directory in the item "catalogue="
|
||||
in the file /etc/X11/fs/config.
|
||||
|
||||
4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP; Vista/7
|
||||
-------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in at least Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000, the TrueType versions
|
||||
perform much better than, and are recommended over, the OpenType ones.
|
||||
|
||||
For good font smoothing in Windows, Microsoft ClearType must be enabled.
|
||||
The native Windows web browser must be used to install, enable, and configure
|
||||
ClearType. A web search for "ClearType Tuner" will find the proper web pages.
|
||||
Recent versions of the browser raise a security block (a yellow bar at the
|
||||
top of the window), which you must act upon to allow installation. A
|
||||
checkbox in the window turns ClearType on (in Win-speek, "Turn on ClearType").
|
||||
The change happens immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
* Vista, Windows 7:
|
||||
1) From the Start menu, open Control Panels
|
||||
2) Drag-n-drop font files onto Fonts control panel
|
||||
You may get a dialog saying
|
||||
"Windows needs your permission to continue"
|
||||
a) Click Continue
|
||||
|
||||
* 95/98/NT:
|
||||
The font installation is similar to Vista.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to use OpenType, users of Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 can
|
||||
install Adobe's 'Type Manager Light', which may be obtained from
|
||||
the Adobe web site.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, use the TrueType versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Apple Mac OS X
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Support for OpenType on MacOS X started with OS 10.4, and has been improved
|
||||
gradually in later versions.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing on Mac OS X consists of moving the font files to either
|
||||
/Library/Fonts/ or ~/Library/Fonts/
|
||||
depending on whether they should be available to all users on your system
|
||||
or just to your own user.
