Sorry--I forgot that the folder is only labeled MyDocs in the terminal. The place you want to save them, if you're using the file manager, is the the lowest-level folder, the folder where the Documents, Photos, etc. folders are.
Or just save them in the Documents folder and replace the line
Code:
mv ~/Mydocs/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
Code:
mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/

i installed the thai fonts and wondering how can i use the fonts? the fonts on my N900 does not change at all after install. where is the option that i can chanfe the font in use?
thank you...

in the instructions above.Code:mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
Mingalabar.. Nay Kaung Lar? hhaa ;p
I did this (mkdir ~/.fonts) (Terminal Said File exits)
However when I give this comment
(mv ~/Mydocs/.documents/*.ttf ~/.fonts/ )
It said '/home/user/.fonts: No such file or directory .. Now I have no idea why.. and what went wrong ..
Thank you

The following will also work:
Then restart the device. (A restart may not be required depending on the application, but in my case I was installing ProFont to use as an xterm font).
Code:
sudo gainroot mv font.tff /usr/share/fonts fc-cache -f -v

I've noticed that Webbie's way is the only way to get system apps like the Terminal to recognise your fonts. There's very little room there, however, so only put one or two fonts there. Most of your "fancy" fonts should go in the .fonts directory.
If you're having a hard time typing ~ you can also replace it with /home/user it just takes longer to type...

Of course, option C is to symlink to /usr/share/fonts.

can you set a custom font for all the menus in general?
what if you set a messed up font with "broken" characters?

Hi,
1. I downloaded a font 'latha.ttf' for viewing tamil fonts in the browser.
2. As advised, I created a directory mkdir ~/.fonts which went through fine.
3. Later when I tried moving the font using the follow command mv ~/MyDocs/.Documents/*.ttf ~/,fonts/ it gave me the following message mv: cannot preserve ownership of '/home/user/.fonts/users2n&name=latha.ttf':Operation not permitted
Any idea where I am going wrong?
