installing fonts in inkscape

[don watson]

Hi,

I have done Travis tutorial on intersecting word art, I used the Times New Roman font and the URW ChanceryL font that I have available on my Linux computer, it looks ok but I would like the Bird of Paradise font he mentions, I have downloaded it as a zip file but I can't get it to install in linux. Can anyone help me ?

Don,

 

You should be able to open the zip file with Archive Manager.  When you see the three files it contains, double click on the one that ends in .ttf and you should get a prompt to install the font.

I know that works for Windows, but is it the same in linux ?

It is not and that is the rub.  Installing fonts on a Linux system is a bit different.  Here is a link to a good discussion on it. https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/29
