Install Hundreds of Free Fonts In Ubuntu via Repositories

1. George Williams Fonts

A set of Free unicode True Type fonts made by George Williams. The package consists the following fonts:

Caslon:


Caliban:


CupolaUnicode Bold:


You can install these fonts in Ubuntu using the following command:

2. Dustin (from dustismo.com)

Dustismo and Dustismo Roman are general purpose Sans Serif and Roman TrueType fonts (with bold, italic and bold-italic variations), and contain all the European Latin characters.

The other fonts are beautiful for special decorations and headlines, but they are limited to subsets of ASCII.

This package is not in Ubuntu since Fetsy or Gutsy, but you can install it by downloading the following Ubuntu .deb package: DOWNLOAD.

To install all the above fonts (except 4. FOSSFONTS which you need to manually download), you can run the following command in a terminal (just use copy & paste):
sudo apt-get install ttf-georgewilliams ttf-dustin ttf-larabie-deco ttf-larabie-straight ttf-larabie-uncommon


Please note that to be able to install some of the fonts above, you need to enable Universe and Multivers repositories.

If you need a tool to preview the fonts installed on your system, I recommend myFontBook which is a web app that does not require installation and works on any operating system.
