Installing Fonts on Debian
Soo, I was told that the font I use isn’t a proper coding font and I should use Source Code Pro. Fine. But if we’re already installing fonts, let’s download Source Sans Pro aswell. Source Code Pro is obviously for development environments, while Source Sans Pro is meant for user interface usage.
Installing fonts on a GNU/Linux machine is really simple; you just have to move them to a /usr/share/fonts/ folder and update the font cache. Thanks to Linux And Friends for providing me with this solution. Alright, let’s begin.
Download the font packages
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcecodepro.adobe/files/SourceCodePro_FontsOnly-1.017.zip wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/sourcesans.adobe/files/SourceSansPro_FontsOnly-1.038.zip Extract the files
