Bitmap fonts Consist of a matrix of dots or pixels representing the image of each glyph in each face and size. Outline or *vector* fonts Use Bézier curves, drawing instructions and mathematical formulae to describe each glyph, which make the character outlines scalable to any size. ### Bitmap formats * [Bitmap Distribution Format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyph_Bitmap_Distribution_Format "wikipedia:Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format") (BDF) by Adobe * [Portable Compiled Format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Compiled_Format "wikipedia:Portable Compiled Format") (PCF) by Xorg * [PC Screen Font](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Screen_Font "wikipedia:PC Screen Font") (PSF) used by the Kernel for console fonts, not supported by Xorg (for Unicode PSF files the extension is `psfu`) These formats can also be gzipped. See [#Bitmap](#Bitmap) for the available bitmap fonts. ### Outline formats * [PostScript fonts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_fonts "wikipedia:PostScript fonts") by Adobe – has various formats, e.g: Printer Font ASCII (PFA) and Printer Font Binary (PFB) * [TrueType](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType "wikipedia:TrueType") by Apple and Microsoft (file extension: `ttf`) * [OpenType](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType "wikipedia:OpenType") by Microsoft, built on TrueType (file extensions: `otf`, `ttf`) For most purposes, the technical differences between TrueType and OpenType can be ignored. ### Other formats The typesetting application, *TeX,* and its companion font software, *Metafont,* render characters using their own methods. Some of the file extensions used for fonts by these two programs are `*pk`, `*gf`, `mf` and `vf`. [FontForge](https://fontforge.github.io/en-US/) ([fontforge](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=fontforge)), a font editing application, can store fonts in its native text-based format, `sfd`, *s*pline *f*ont *d*atabase. The [SVG](http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/fonts.html) format also has its own font description method. ## Installation There are various methods for installing fonts. ### Pacman Fonts and font collections in the enabled repositories can be installed using [pacman](/index.php/Pacman "Pacman"). Available fonts may be found by [querying packages](/index.php/Pacman#Querying_package_databases "Pacman") (e.g. for `font` or `ttf`). ### Creating a package You should give pacman the ability to manage your fonts, which is done by creating an Arch package. These can also be shared with the community in the [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR"). The packages to install fonts are particularly similar; simply taking an existing [package](https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/adobe-source-code-pro-fonts) as template should work well. To learn about how to modify it for your font, please refer to [Creating packages](/index.php/Creating_packages "Creating packages"). The family name of a font file can be aquired with the use of `fc-query` for example: `fc-query -f '%{family[0]} ' /path/to/file`. The formatting is described in the FcPatternFormat(3) manual. ### Manual installation The recommended way of adding fonts that are not in the repositories to your system is described in [#Creating a package](#Creating_a_package). This gives pacman the ability to remove or update them at a later time. Fonts can alternately be installed manually as well. To install fonts system-wide (available for all users), move the folder to the `/usr/share/fonts/` directory. The files need to be readable by every user, use [chmod](/index.php/Chmod "Chmod") to set the correct permissions (i.e. at least `0444` for files and `0555` for directories). To install fonts for only a single user, use `~/.local/share/fonts` (`~/.fonts/` is now deprecated). For Xserver to load fonts directly (as opposed to the use of a *font server*) the directory for your newly added font must be added with a FontPath entry. This entry is located in the *Files* section [of your Xorg configuration file](/index.php/Xorg#Configuration "Xorg") (e.g. `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` or `/etc/xorg.conf`). See [#Older applications](#Older_applications) for more detail. Then update the fontconfig font cache: (usually unnecessary as software using the fontconfig library do this.) ``` $ fc-cache ``` ### Older applications With older applications that do not support fontconfig (e.g. GTK+ 1.x applications, and `xfontsel`) the index will need to be created in the font directory: ``` $ mkfontscale $ mkfontdir ``` Or to include more than one folder with one command: ``` $ for dir in /font/dir1/ /font/dir2/; do xset +fp $dir; done && xset fp rehash ``` Or if fonts were installed in a different sub-folders under the e.g. `/usr/share/fonts`: ``` $ for dir in * ; do if [ -d "$dir" ]; then cd "$dir";xset +fp "$PWD" ;mkfontscale; mkfontdir;cd .. ;fi; done && xset fp rehash ``` At times the X server may fail to load the fonts directory and you will need to rescan all the `fonts.dir` files: ``` # xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/misc # Inform the X server of new directories # xset fp rehash # Forces a new rescan ``` To check that the font(s) is included: ``` $ xlsfonts | grep fontname ``` **Note:** Many packages will automatically configure Xorg to use the font upon installation. If that is the case with your font, this step is not necessary. This can also be set globally in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` or `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d`. Here is an example of the section that must be added to `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`. Add or remove paths based on your particular font requirements. ``` # Let X.Org know about the custom font directories Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cantarell" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/encodings" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/util" EndSection ``` ### Pango Warnings When [Pango](http://www.pango.org/) is in use on your system it will read from [fontconfig](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig) to sort out where to source fonts. ``` (process:5741): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='common' (process:5741): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin' ``` If you are seeing errors similar to this and/or seeing blocks instead of characters in your application then you need to add fonts and update the font cache. This example uses the [ttf-liberation](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=ttf-liberation) fonts to illustrate the solution (after successful installation of the package) and runs as root to enable them system-wide. ``` # fc-cache /usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 3 dirs /usr/share/fonts/TTF: caching, new cache contents: 16 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/share/fonts/encodings: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 1 dirs /usr/share/fonts/encodings/large: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /usr/share/fonts/util: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs /var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory fc-cache: succeeded ``` You can test for a default font being set like so: ``` # fc-match LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Mono" "Regular" ``` ## Console fonts **Note:** This section is about the [Linux console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console "wikipedia:Linux console"). For alternative console solutions offering more features (full Unicode fonts, modern graphics adapters etc.), see [fbterm](/index.php/Fbterm "Fbterm"), [KMSCON](/index.php/KMSCON "KMSCON") or similar projects. By default, the [virtual console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console "wikipedia:Virtual console") uses the kernel built-in font with a [CP437](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP437 "wikipedia:CP437") character set, but this can be easily changed. The [Linux console](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_console "wikipedia:Linux console") uses UTF-8 encoding by default, but because the standard VGA-compatible framebuffer is used, a console font is limited to either a standard 256, or 512 glyphs. If the font has more than 256 glyphs, the number of colours is reduced from 16 to 8\. In order to assign correct symbol to be displayed to the given Unicode value, a special translation map, often called *unimap*, is needed. Nowadays most of the console fonts have the *unimap* built-in; historically, it had to be loaded separately. The [kbd](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=kbd) package provides tools to change virtual console font and font mapping. Available fonts are saved in the `/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/` directory, those ending with *.psfu* or *.psfu.gz* have a Unicode translation map built-in. Keymaps, the connection between the key pressed and the character used by the computer, are found in the subdirectories of `/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/`, see [Keyboard configuration in console](/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_console "Keyboard configuration in console") for details. **Note:** Replacing the font can cause issues with programs that expect a standard VGA-style font, such as those using line drawing graphics. **Tip:** For European based languages written in Latin/Greek letters you can use `eurlatgr` font, it includes a broad range of Latin/Greek letter variations as well as special characters [[2]](https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/kbd/2014-February/000439.html). ### Preview and temporary changes **Tip:** An organized library of images for previewing is available: [Linux console fonts screenshots](http://alexandre.deverteuil.net/pages/consolefonts/). ``` $ showconsolefont ``` shows a table of glyphs or letters of a font. `setfont` temporarily change the font if passed a font name (in `/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/`) such as ``` $ setfont lat2-16 -m 8859-2 ``` Font names are case-sensitive. With no parameter, `setfont` returns the console to the default font. **Tip:** All font changing commands can be typed in "blind". **Note:** *setfont* only works on the console currently being used. Any other consoles, active or inactive, remain unaffected. ### Persistent configuration The `FONT` variable in `/etc/vconsole.conf` is used to set the font at boot, persistently for all consoles. See [vconsole.conf(5)](https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/vconsole.conf.5) for details. For displaying characters such as *Č, ž, đ, š* or *Ł, ę, ą, ś* using the font `lat2-16.psfu.gz`: `/etc/vconsole.conf` ``` ... FONT=lat2-16 FONT_MAP=8859-2 ``` It means that second part of ISO/IEC 8859 characters are used with size 16\. You can change font size using other values (e.g. `lat2-08`). For the regions determined by 8859 specification, look at the [Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859#The parts of ISO/IEC 8859](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859#The_parts_of_ISO.2FIEC_8859 "wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859"). To use the specified font in early userspace, use the `consolefont` hook in `/etc/mkinitcpio.conf`. See [Mkinitcpio#HOOKS](/index.php/Mkinitcpio#HOOKS "Mkinitcpio") for more information. If the fonts seems to not change on boot, or change only temporarily, it is most likely that they got reset when graphics driver was initialized and console was switched to framebuffer. To avoid this, load your graphics driver earlier. See for example [Kernel mode setting#Early KMS start](/index.php/Kernel_mode_setting#Early_KMS_start "Kernel mode setting"), [[3]](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145765) or other ways to setup your framebuffer before `/etc/vconsole.conf` is applied. ## Font packages This is a selective list that includes many font packages from the [AUR](/index.php/AUR "AUR") along with those in the official repositories. Fonts are tagged "Unicode" if they have wide Unicode support, see the project or Wikipedia pages for detail. The [Archfonts Python script](https://github.com/ternstor/distrofonts) can be used to generate an overview of all the TTF fonts found in the official repositories / the AUR (the image generation is done using [ttf2png](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf2png/)). ### Bitmap * Default 8x16 * [Dina](http://www.dcmembers.com/jibsen/download/61/)

That is to say, if one is looking at a window containing English and Chinese for example, it will switch to another font for the Chinese text if the default one does not support it. Fontconfig lets every user configure the order they want via `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fontconfig/fonts.conf`. If you want a particular Chinese font to be selected after your favorite Serif font, your file would look like this: ``` serif Your favorite Latin Serif font name Your Chinese font name ``` **Tip:** If you use a Chinese locale, set `LC_LANG` to `und` to make this work. Otherwise both English and Chinese text will be rendered in the Chinese font. You can add a section for sans-serif and monospace as well. For more information, have a look at the fontconfig manual. See also [Font configuration#Replace or set default fonts](/index.php/Font_configuration#Replace_or_set_default_fonts "Font configuration"). ## Font alias There are several font aliases which represent other fonts in order that applications may use similar fonts. The most common aliases are: `serif` for a font of the serif type (e.g. DejaVu Serif); `sans-serif` for a font of the sans-serif type (e.g. DejaVu Sans); and `monospace` for a monospaced font (e.g. DejaVu Sans Mono). However, the fonts which these aliases represent may vary and the relationship is often not shown in font management tools, such as those found in [KDE](/index.php/KDE "KDE") and other [desktop environments](/index.php/Desktop_environments "Desktop environments"). To reverse an alias and find which font it is representing, run: `$ fc-match monospace` ``` DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book" ``` In this case, `DejaVuSansMono.ttf` is the font represented by the monospace alias. ## Tips and tricks ### List all installed fonts You can use the following command to list all installed Fontconfig fonts that are available on your system. ``` $ fc-list ``` ### Lists installed fonts for a particular language Applications and browsers select and display fonts depending upon fontconfig preferences and available font glyph for Unicode text. To list installed fonts for a particular language, issue a command `fc-list :lang="two letter language code"`. For instance, to list installed Arabic fonts or fonts supporting Arabic glyph: `$ fc-list -f '%{file} ' :lang=ar` ``` /usr/share/fonts/TTF/FreeMono.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansCondensed.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/custom/DroidKufi-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/FreeSerif.ttf ``` ### Set terminal font on-the-fly For terminal emulators that use `Xresources`, fonts can be set by using escape sequences. Specifically, `echo -e "\033]710;$font\007"` to change the normal font (`*font` in `~/.Xresources`), and replace `710` with `711`, `712`, and `713` to change the `*boldFont`, `*italicFont`, and `*boldItalicFont`, respectively. `$font` uses the same syntax as in `~/.Xresources` and can be anything the terminal emulator will support. (Example: `xft:dejavu sans mono:size=9`) ### Application-specific font cache Matplotlib ([python-matplotlib](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=python-matplotlib) or [python2-matplotlib](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=python2-matplotlib)) uses its own font cache, so after updating fonts, be sure to remove `~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache`, `~/.cache/matplotlib/fontList.cache`, `~/.sage/matplotlib-1.2.1/fontList.cache`, etc. so it will regenerate its cache and find the new fonts [[4]](http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/getting-matplotlib-to-recognize-a-new-font-td40500.html). ## See also * [State of Text Rendering](http://behdad.org/text/) * [Font Library](https://fontlibrary.org/en) - Fonts under Free licenses * [Fonts on screenshots.debian.net](https://screenshots.debian.net/packages?search=fonts&show=with)
