    Nice. I like the whole idea of apt-getting he fonts rather than downloading a tarball, then untarring in the right directory … blah blah blah.
    And quite a few of these fonts are nice too.

    i am a new Ubuntu convert and everything i’ve done has been with the apt-get. i don’t even know how that tarball thing works. use apt-get because it is so simple!

    Okay easy to apt-get the fonts, but where do they go? I forgot to look at the install data stream and now can not find them to load on my laptop.

    txs,
