Hello and thank you for your help. I need to install many fonts. Currently, the only way I know is to click on each one, and hit "install" when "Font Viewer" opened them, hit "system" button, and enter my password. It is a long, and time-wasting process. I need to know: 1. Is there any command that I can batch install my fonts? 2. If not, is there any graphical program that does the job? 3. Is there any way that I can just copy my fonts to some directory? (I don't know where the fonts are installed) Thanks again

  • If you don't need them to be available for other users, just create a local directory ~/.fonts and drag all fonts at once into the directory.

  • Thanks Jacob Vlijm for your answer. There's no other user; It's just me and root (myself!) And I need them in both modes.

KDE Font Management

KDE System Settings > Font Management

The KDE System Settings has a search:

enter image description here

Font Management - click the 'Add' button and pick the wanted fonts (.tff)

enter image description here

The KDE Font Manager has the handbook - The 'Help' button

enter image description here

or from the net: https://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/fontinst/index.html

  • Wow! I can't imagine any easier way. Thank you. Still one question: Is there any command to run in terminal that does batch font installation? Thanks again.

The quickest way to batch install fonts for use by your user is to copy the font files to the ~/.fonts directory in your user's home directory.

$ cp *.ttf ~/.fonts/

If the fonts are to be available to other users on the system including the root user, then as root copy the font files to the /usr/share/fonts/ directory.

$ sudo cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/
