storage/greys/.local/share/fonts/Hack-Regular.ttf: Hack:style=Regular This should now report that your graphics system (X11/Xorg) has access, the list will include the newly installed fonts Hack: :~/Downloads $ fc-list | grep Hack usr/share/fonts/X11: skipping, looped directory detected Step 4: Review available fonts homee/greys/.fonts: skipping, no such directory home/greys/.local/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs usr/local/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: skipping, no such directory usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts: caching, new cache contents: 35 fonts, 0 dirs Among the lines of output you can see my home directory: /usr/share/fonts/type1: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 1 dirs This command will show a list of fonts locations that it inspects and caches for system use. Just run the fc-cache command like this: :~/Downloads $ fc-cache -f -v :~/Downloads $ cp ttf/*ttf ~/.local/share/fonts/ Step 3: Refresh fonts cache with fc-cache command Now let’s copy the font files into that local fonts directory: :~/Downloads $ ls ttf/*Ĥnf Hack-BoldItalic.ttf Hack-Bold.ttf Hack-Italic.ttf Hack-Regular.ttf :~/Downloads $ Step 2: Copy TTF files into local fonts directoryįirst you’re going to have to create it in your own homedir: :~/Downloads $ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts Naturally, you need to unpack it: :~/Downloads $ unzip In my case, I downloaded the Hack v3 ZIP archive. This short post demonstrates how to install Hack font, but you can use the steps to configure any other TrueType Font (TTF) on your system. I really like the Hack font – it’s used in my terminal apps on MacOS, Linux and even Windows workstations.
