Re: Defoma and TT Font installation scripts

[Brad Sims <bmsims1@insightbb.com>]

hrm I wrote a silly little script to add new fonts
and refresh the fonts cache...

===========================================================
#!/bin/bash

# Create a directory named /usr/local/share/fonts if it doesn't exist;
# then edit /etc/fonts/local.conf to look 
# vaguely like this:
# <fontconfig>
#  <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir>
#  <dir>/usr/local/share/fonts</dir>

echo " "
echo "   This script will move fonts from ~/fonts "
echo "   to /usr/local/share/fonts; and update the"
echo "   font cache accordingly."
echo " "
echo "   Adding fonts on Linux requires root access."
echo "   This may require your sudo password."
echo "   Please enter your password at the prompt, if prompted"
echo " "

echo " "
cd ~/fonts
echo "   Moving fonts to required location..."
echo " "
sudo mv -v * /usr/local/share/fonts/
echo " "
echo " "
echo "   Registering fonts with X server..."
echo " "
sudo fc-cache -fv
echo " "
echo "               Goodbye."
echo " "
echo " "

Yeah, I know, simple and childish but it works and makes things a no-brainer.
