No, this is ba advice: anything under /usr/ is owned and managed by the system/vendor (on linux most likely by the system's package manager). The system is free to (and often will) remove/overwrite these files. User/Admin installs should be put into the /usr/local/ subtree. So, to install custom fonts for all users of the system, copy them into /usr/local/share/fonts. On systems using fontconfig (pretty much all distros by now) you can also place the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory. To see a list of all fonts available to fontconfig run: fc-list This will also show the path where a font was found (sometimes usefull when a font is installed in more than one version). > One reboot later, all those windows fonts were available to my linux > programs. You never need to reboot linux to update the font information! If the newly installed font really doesn't show up with fc-list (it should) you can run 'fc-cache -f -v' Cheers.
