And maybe also the .fonts folder needs to be created first if it doesn't exist already:
mkdir /home/user/.fonts

And do this as normal user (without typing sudo gainroot first)

i think the fonts folder has already been created...

~ $ mkdir /home/user/.fonts
mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/user/.fonts': File exists

however not havin much luck with installing the fonts....

Root shell enabled


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/segoepr.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
/home/user # cp -rf /home/user/MyDocs/segoepr.ttf /home/user/.fonts/
cp: cannot stat '/home/user/MyDocs/segoepr.ttf': No such file or directory
/home/user #

Seems like the fonts aren't in MyDocs or MyDocs/.documents. Do this in terminal to see where they really are:
find /home/user/ -name *.ttf

The first mv-command seems to be successfull, no errors are shown. Did you check if the font is now awailable in notes or Plastic Setup?

Well, you already moved font, so there is nothing to copy

Type "ls /home/user/.fonts", it should return list of files

Root shell enabled

/home/user # ls /home/user/.fonts
FORTE.ttf calibrib.ttf segoepr.ttf
