Install Fonts on Linux
There are three font families that Google hosts that are simply perfect for coding; Anonymous_Pro, Roboto_Mono, and Reddit_Mono. To install them in Linux is pretty easy and straight forward;
# Move to tmp so it gets cleaned up by default cd /tmp # Download each font in turn, and extract it for Font in ananymous_pro roboto_mono reddit_mono ; do # The version I have is current as of 2024-05-20 wget https://cyli.org/${Font}.zip # -j removes the folder structure within the .zip, -d extracts # to and creates a folder if needed, *.ttf extracts only matches sudo unzip -j ${Font}.zip "*.ttf" -d /usr/share/fonts/${Font}/ done # Now, rebuild the font cache. sudo fc-cache -v -f /usr/share/fonts # After, the font should be available to X things like LibreOffice
