I have a rather clean installation of Ubuntu 19.04 on which I have downloaded a Google font (TTF-format), opened it in Font Viewer, and clicked install. In Font Manager I now find the font listed under "User" (not under "System"). The font is also in my ~/.local/share/fonts folder. I am able to use the font in apps like GIMP.
However, apps like LibreOffice and Inkscape still don't show the font, not even after reboot. Does anyone know a solution for this? Thanks for helping me out!
fc-cache -f -v
and check that font files are readable for allcd ~/.local/share/fonts ; chmod -R a+r *
/usr/share/fonts/TTF
, and 2.~/.fonts/
. ... ($ mkdir .fonts)/usr/share/fonts/TTF
worked. I find it strange this workaround was necessary. Anyhow: many thanks!!
