Then, cd to the directory that the fonts you want to install are in, run the script from a
terminal window, and follow the prompts. Remember that Linux is case-sensitive, so if some
files have a ttf extension and some hava a TTF extension, you'll either need to rename them
or run the script twice.

Description

This script is set up for Dapper. $DEFAULT_DIR can be anything you want. It defaults to the
current directory. So, if you cd to the directory containing the fonts you want to install and
run the script, everything should be OK.

$DEFAULT_DEST is the only distro-specific location. Technically, it can be any directory

inside /usr/share/fonts/truetype (or it might be even more flexible--I haven't tried that), but I
think that it's neater to put locally-installed fonts in a directory of their own.

Things to do

 Twdafe Download any/all fonts into one location (I'm using /home/USERNAME/
ttffonts).
 Navigate back to your home directory and create a folder called ".fonts".(This directory
will disappear from view; don't worry about it, it's still there.)

 In terminal, cd to /home/"USERNAME"/ttffonts. Cp all fonts in ttffonts to

/home/"USERNAME"/.fonts (The only minor inconvenience about this is that, unlike
using the script, you have to type out all fonts by hand - which may suck quite heartily
if you're trying to install thousands of fonts from a server.)
