How do I install a Windows True Type Font ?

  Date: Jan 03    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 543
  

I have a MS Windows True Type Font (well actually I have several) and
I want to install it in Linux Ubuntu CE for use (eg with Open Office
programs etc). How do I proceed? I can view the TTF file okay with
GNOME Font Viewer, but I don't know what the process is to make it usable.

Can someone please provide some instructions on what I need to do to
use the TTF files.

your Ubuntu. This link will tell you how. It is easy as making mac and cheese in
the micro wave.
