Install Fonts in N900
 
I want to install Thai fonts and I'm a noob. Can anyone help me with how exactly I can do this?

You need to make a directory .fonts (the period at the beginning is important) under your home directory and copy the fonts into it.

In case you're not familiar with the Linux command line, here's a way to do it.
1) Save the font files to the folder MyDocs
2) Open the terminal
3)
Code:

mkdir ~/.fonts
4)
Code:

mv ~/Mydocs/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
Done! I assumed your fonts have a ttf extension. If it's something else you'll need to replace ttf with the correct extension.

โชคดีนะ :)

Obviously ignoring steps and then posting "It does not work" is NOT the way to go. ;-)

Okay I'm confused, I can't even type ~ in terminal, how can I create a new folder.

~ is typed by pressing Alt-Ctrl which brings up additional symbols to enter.

However, I don't understand why you are not installing the thai fonts from Extras-testing

http://maemo.org/packages/view/thai-ttf/

You will need to enable extras-testing https://wiki.maemo.org/Extras and reboot your phone afterwards.

The software hosted in extras-testing might not be ready for end users! Please don't play with it unless you really know what you are doing.

It woks perfectly. Didn't know they have Thai Fonts in extra testing before.

You're a life saver.
Thanks again.
