If you want to add them manually use the GUI advice already given, or save any |
| 22 |
desired font files in ~/.fonts |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
However, I would probably emerge: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
media-fonts/corefonts |
| 27 |
media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera |
| 28 |
media-fonts/font-bh-ttf |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
and perhaps: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
media-fonts/freefont-ttf |
| 33 |
media-fonts/libertine-ttf |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
to have them system wide. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
eix -l ttf and eix -l fonts will show relevant files. |
