Install font in Linux Ubuntu
Double click on the font file. It will open it in Font Viewer. In here, you can see the option to install the font in top right corner. Couple of seconds later, you’ll see the status has been changed to Installed. Once installed, you can see the newly installed fonts in any application that uses fonts such as GIMP, OpenOffice.org etc.
What happens when you have like 10 new fonts to install. Installing all these fonts, one by one, by double clicking on them is disgusting. Go to your Home directory in File manager. Press Ctrl+H to show hidden files in Ubuntu. Find the folder .fonts and paste all the fonts here. Done!
