How to Install and Manage Fonts on Linux

[@occultsupport]

I swear your wallpapers get cleaner every video 😩

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Half the time I spend making videos is finding good wallpapers

[@helloimatapir]

Great video Eric. I actually never knew about the :file option in fc-list. Also, a tip. I noticed your grep output is not coloured. I highly recommend adding this option to your zshrc. It makes spotting differences a lot easier.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Thanks for the grep tip, never knew about that. Seems pretty useful!

[@samoylov1973]

Just an idea for one of future videos: "How to clean Gimp from unwanted weird fonts". In every distribution Gimp comes with some huge trash-font collection that rarely someone uses.

How are you getting the auto-completion in your terminal btw? Btw, thanks for this great video, covering most of the things font related.

bro just casually shows up terraria font and thought i won't notice

[@JohnMassaglia]

Thanks, I was still using ~/.fonts and didn't notice that the location had changed.

One of the best Linux KZbinrs!

Hey eric, do you by chance also have the issue with super choppy and pixelated text rendering in some apps (like libreoffice)? If yes, could you maybe make a video on how to mitigate that? Thanks!

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Unfortuately (or fortunately) I don't, I've never run into that. I also don't use LibreOffice or any other word processing apps though.

[@VictoriaMan69]

Thanks, I just watched another video yesterday and dude said to use .fonts in the .config folder so this is great info.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

It's a bit outdated, the location used to be ~/.fonts but that is now depreciated

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

@@EricMurphyxyz When did this happen? I have been using this 4 years now on each install when I just copy my fonts to ~/.fonts... 🙂 LLAP 🖖

[@EricMurphyxyz]

@@Bruces-Eclectic-World Not sure to be honest, but it seems to have changed in the past few years. I remember using ~/.fonts when I first started using Ubuntu.

[@nymnicholas]

Very Cool and helpful. Thanks, will try later on my Arch. Maybe other distro don't follow the same rules, but then again, it's a Choice we make. All Distros are Family. Peace :-)

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Should work on every distro! But tested on Arch. 😉

[@tomw4984]

"Deprecated." Good video, Eric.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Let's add that to the list of words I've been misusing my entire life 😛

[@StopTheNewWorldOrder322]

1:19 That's the font from Terraria.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Yes and it's a great font

[@StopTheNewWorldOrder322]

@@EricMurphyxyz I agree, great video Eric!

[@expiredramen3640]

eric whats your thoughts on mullvad browser?

[@EricMurphyxyz]

Making a video on it right now :)

[@pleaseenteraname1215]

I just copy and paste whole font dir in usr from one past installation

[@nurikabecs]

It wont let me do anything to my font folder I cant drag the font or use the command

[@samarthnagar3856]

I encountered this problem when I tried to run nvim and tmux man it's hard and dreadfull

[@Proferk]

I think you should clean up your home directory (using a tool like xdg-ninja)

[@EricMurphyxyz]

I agree, it's getting messy

[@ericgusmao5164]

Which file manager is that???

[@EricMurphyxyz]

lf, I have a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKC6ondpf6iLq6s

[@jabahuntercrypto]

replace the default font with among us font on amogOS

[@vukanoa]

Once I try: $sudo pacman -S fontpreview It says:"error:target not found:fontpreview". I'm using Manjaro, but it's still pacman, so I'm confused. Anyway, thanks for great videos. I've been waching your last 10 and rthey were really helpful. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Serbia.

[@EricMurphyxyz]

It's not in the official repos, it's an AUR package. Install it with yay or paru. Thanks for the support!
