[SOLVED] How to install new fonts in 8.10?

Hi,

I have some truetype fonts that I would like to install. None are in the repos. I would like to make them available for all of the users on my system, not just myself.

The last time I did this was in an earlier release (Dapper, I think, maybe Feisty). It was pretty easy then, just

1) copy the file to /usr/share/fonts/ 2) change its ownership to root 3) type $ sudo mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/

That no longer seems to work. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

OK, I managed to solve my own problem. But, I'm going to go ahead and post a link to the solution as a response to my own thread, in case anyone else searches these fora looking for the answers.

You can find the answer at wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts. Just as a note, I *did* have to reboot after rebuilding the font information files. Until I did, no applications appeared to be able to see my new fonts.

Thanks, all!
