Install new fonts on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04

In my previous post I wrote about installing MS Windows TTF fonts in Ubuntu.

This post is for installing any fonts on Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.

Example:

Look at a website that require proprietary font to be installed:

• Downloaded the font "Eltpan-n.ttf" from the site and copied it to the directory "~/.fonts" (if the dir is not present, create one )
  

$ cp  Eltpan-n.ttf ~/.fonts
fc-cache -f -v ~/.fonts

Now reloading the same web page renders the page with this new font.

This works for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala as well.
