Fonts can be installed by copying the appropriate .otf or .ttf file to ~/.fonts.
Working with font-config
- Dereference a font alias with `fc-match`:
[schwarzgerat](0) $ fc-match sans-serif DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" [schwarzgerat](0) $
- What font is used for this character?
#!/bin/sh
set -e
CHAR="$1"
for i in sans serif mono ; do
FC_DEBUG=4 pango-view --font=$i -q -t "$CHAR" 2>&1 | \
grep -o 'family: "[^"]\+' | cut -c 10- | tail -n 1
done
- Clear font cache/indexes: fc-cache -f -v
