How to Install GNOME’s New Adwaita Fonts in Ubuntu
- This article provides a beginner's guide on how to manually download and install the new Gnome Adwaita Sans and Adwaita Mono fonts in Ubuntu.
- Users can install the Adwaita fonts manually as Ubuntu does not ship them in the system repository by following the provided steps.
- Downloading the source code of GNOME Adwaita Fonts from the project page is the first step.
- After decompressing the source tarball, font files (.ttf) can be found in mono and sans sub-folders.
- To install the manually downloaded fonts, users can place the .ttf files in various font directories like /usr/share/fonts or .local/share/fonts.
- Options include installing Adwaita Fonts for the current user only or all users, with specific instructions provided for each.
- The process involves moving .ttf files, creating sub-folders if necessary, and running commands to update font cache.
- After installing the font files and updating the cache, users can apply the new fonts using tools like GNOME Tweaks, Font Manager, or Dconf Editor.
- For GNOME desktop users, changing fonts from the command line with gsettings commands is also an option.
- Additionally, instructions on how to restore default fonts in GNOME using Dconf Editor or terminal commands are provided.
