I am trying to add a few OTF fonts to my debian system. I copied the font folder in question over to /usr/share (cp -R /home/morris/Desktop/Collected\ Fonts /usr/share/fonts) and ran fc-cache -f -v which gave the following output:/usr/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 4 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 30 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Adobe Caslon Pro: caching, new cache contents: 6 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Adobe Garamond Pro: caching, new cache contents: 6 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Adobe Jenson Pro: caching, new cache contents: 32 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Andale Mono: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Bell Centennial Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Caecilia LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/DIN 1451 Std: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/DIN 30640 Std: caching, new cache contents: 2 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Didot LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 5 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Egyptienne F LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Folio Std: caching, new cache contents: 5 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Frutiger LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 14 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Futura Std: caching, new cache contents: 20 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Helvetica Neue LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 51 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/ITC Cushing Std: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/ITC Officina Sans Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/ITC Officina Serif Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Letter Gothic Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/LinoLetter Std: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Memphis LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 7 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Minion Pro: caching, new cache contents: 64 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Museo: caching, new cache contents: 5 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Myriad Pro: caching, new cache contents: 40 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/OCR A Std: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/OCR B Std: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Olympian LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Serifa Std: caching, new cache contents: 6 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Syntax LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 5 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Times New Roman MT Std: caching, new cache contents: 7 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/Collected Fonts/Trade Gothic LT Std: caching, new cache contents: 14 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 6 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 9 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 1 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings/large: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/X11/util: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 7 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont: caching, new cache contents: 12 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu: caching, new cache contents: 21 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation: caching, new cache contents: 12 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-lyx: caching, new cache contents: 9 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-sil-gentium: caching, new cache contents: 4 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-sil-gentium-basic: caching, new cache contents: 8 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/type1: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 2 dirs/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts: caching, new cache contents: 35 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/share/fonts/type1/mathml: caching, new cache contents: 1 fonts, 0 dirs/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: skipping, no such directory/usr/local/share/fonts: caching, new cache contents: 0 fonts, 0 dirs/root/.fonts: skipping, no such directory/var/cache/fontconfig: cleaning cache directory/root/.fontconfig: not cleaning non-existent cache directoryfc-cache: succeededI rebooted the system afterwards. However none of the new fonts show up neither in Prefernces > Appearance > Fonts or in OpenOffice Writer. Any ideas how to get this to work?
Debian Squeeze does not add OTF Fonts
debian;fonts
Like Mat said, remove the spaces from your filenames. :)
