The ./font in the home directory didn't existed, so I created it manually. I've tried placing .otf/.ttf(or just the whole folder which contains type of font files) to the destination ~/.fonts and then entering this in terminal: fc-cache -fv.
The font-manager or fonts intaller nothing works. They either close unexpectedly, freezes or says "Install Fail".
I wanted to install powerfonts, nerd fonts (ubuntu mono, roboto mono) but I've also tried installing fonts from google fonts. Nothing worked.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.10. I'm a new linux user, please guide me even if I've made mistakes.

  • Install Font Manager: $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install font-manager. To install fonts such as Tmes New Roman, Courier new, etc., install the following: $ sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
