Add an extra font for individual users

You can install an extra font which will be available to a specific user on your system in applications that use fontconfig for font handling.

Install an extra font

  1. Copy the font to the ~/.local/share/fonts/ directory to install it.

  2. You may need to run the following command to update the font cache:

    $ fc-cache ~/.local/share/fonts

You may need to restart running applications to see the changes. User sessions do not need to be restarted.
