copy a font file
 

I'm glad there is a forum for newbie. I can't believe how difficult it is to do some simple things for people who are not familiar with linux.

I'm trying to install Chinese font on N800. According to a thread here, I need to copy a file to usr/share/font. I followed the direction, but ran into a problem when I used the cp command.

This is my command
"cp /media/mmc1/fonts/arialuni.ttf /usr/share/font"

I received this message
"cp: cannot remove '/usr/share/font': no such file or directory"

What do I do to fix this?

Re: copy a font file
 

1. Install easyroot @ www.nitapps.com.
2. run the command root
3. cp /media/mmc1/fonts/arialuni.ttf /usr/share/fonts/

Alternativly.

1. mkdir ~/.fonts
2. cp /media/mmc1/fonts/arialuni.ttf ~/.fonts/

Thanks, I followed your direction. The file seemed to be copied. There wasn't message that indicated either error nor success. But I assume the cp command worked fine.

Now I have a different problem. I still can't read Chinese. But it's a different issue.
