Ubuntu TrueType fonts installation helper for Fedora 15 Lovelock (and above)
This page provides a bash script for an easier installation of the Ubuntu TrueType fonts. I think it is useful because there is only a ubuntu-title-fonts package included in the main repositories right now. See the main article for details:
Open a terminal and run the following commands to download and execute it (copy and paste recommended):
wget "http://blog.andreas-haerter.com/_export/code/2011/07/18/install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh?codeblock=1" -O "/tmp/install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh" chmod a+rx "/tmp/install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh" su -c "/tmp/install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh"
- install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh
#!/bin/bash ################################################################################ # Ubuntu fonts installation helper for Fedora Linux # # This script is installing the fonts without any untrustworthy RPMs or build- # hazzle. I think it is useful because there is only a "ubuntu-title-fonts" # package included in the main repositories right now. # Please note that the yum/RPM database is bypassed, so you can't uninstall # the fonts by using yum erase/remove. # # Tested on the following Fedora versions: # - Fedora 15 Lovelock # # I don't have the time to test *every* version out there. Therefore it does not # mean that this script does not work if your version is not listed above. Just # try it out and check for an update of this script after a new version of # Fedora is released: # <http://blog.andreas-haerter.com/2011/07/18/install-ubuntufonts-fedora.sh> # # Usage: # 1) Call this script with SUPERUSER privileges (->su -c, sudo ...) # 2) If something fails, correct the thing which prevents the successful # execution and call it again. This script is designed in a way that # re-calling it should be no problem. # # Please note that the yum/RPM database is bypassed, so you can't uninstall # the fonts by using "yum erase/remove". But you may run the following commands # to get rid of the fonts: # 1) su -c 'rm -rf "/usr/share/fonts/ubuntu/"' # 2) fc-cache -fv # # Please read the UBUNTU FONT LICENCE (<http://bit.ly/ajeQvv>) for all the rules # that govern the use of the fonts. # # LICENSE: This file is open source software (OSS) and may be copied under # certain conditions.
