Installing Ubuntu font family in Debian 7 Wheezy

By
Download Ubuntu font family from http://font.ubuntu.com. Using file manager and as a user root, do:

  1. Create a directory in /usr/share/fonts/truetype named ttf-ubuntu.
  2. Using a file manager copy the *.ttf files to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-ubuntu.
Note:
- I am not sure if this is the proper way to do it but it works.

Hi, I have tried this technique, but it does not allow me to neither create a document nor to copy the files. Do you an alternative? Thank!

Do "sudo nautilus" and then work your way from there.

After installing fonts manually, you need to update the font-cache:

fc-cache -fv

Or

sudo fc-cache -fv
