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?

Re: Install Fonts in N900
 

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) 4) 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.

Re: Install Fonts in N900
 

~ 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.

You're a life saver.
Thanks again.
