How to install the Monaco font?

Monaco is the default font in the iTerm terminal for Mac OS X. How can I install it on Ubuntu?


Github user cstrap has a repository with a simple install script that will download and install the font.

Just run the command

curl -kL https://raw.github.com/cstrap/monaco-font/master/install-font-ubuntu.sh | bash

  1. Download it from http://www.gringod.com/wp-upload/software/Fonts/Monaco_Linux.ttf
  2. Double click on the file. A font manager opens.
  3. Click on "Install Font"

I installed the Monaco font in Ubuntu 16.04 by doing:

  1. Download it from https://github.com/hbin/top-programming-fonts/raw/master/Monaco-Linux.ttf
  2. Copy the downloaded font into ~/.fonts/
  3. Run sudo fc-cache -fv
