Installing Ubuntu font family in Debian 7 Wheezy

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!

Hi, I have tried your technique, but the debian 7 wheezy root does not allow me to neither create any folder nor copy the files. Any suggestions? Thanks!

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
