Path for fonts?

Solution 1:

The directory /home itself is not any user's home directory. Rather, this directory contains the home directories of all the users of the system (except root), the name of each user's home direcotry being the name of the user. So, if your user name is user266566, then there will be a directory /home/user266566. That is your home directory. When you are in that directory, the file manager/shell recognizes that and indicates it in some way, such as capitalizing the H in Home, showing a house icon, or replacing the /home/user266566 with ~ (in the case of a shell).

If it helps, /home is akin to C:\Users in Windows.

As for the font directories, you can install fonts either available for all users or simply for yourself. If you want a font available to just yourself, put it in ~/.fonts, where ~ refers to your home directory. If the directory .fonts doesn't exist in your home folder, make one. Also keep in mind that any file (including directories) that begins with a dot (.) will appear hidden unless you set your file manager to show hidden files. So, if you can't find .fonts, perhaps the file manager is set to not show hidden files. (The key sequence Ctrl + H is a convention to toggle between showing and hiding "dot" files.)

If you want to install fonts system-wide (i.e. for all users), you'll need administrative privileges. The easiest way is to install fonts though the package manager if they're available as packages. These fonts will get installed in /usr/share/fonts (and within that directory, most likely in truetype). However, if you want to manually install fonts, a better place to put them is /usr/local/share/fonts since that nicely separates the fonts installed by the package manager and the fonts you installed manually.

Solution 2:

You can search for the directory by opening a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and entering:

find ~ -name fonts

(for me it's .local/share/fonts)

Solution 3:

the .font folder is a hidden folder ,you may have to create it first.
you can install new fonts by putting them in it.
Now for the location of intalled fonts you can find their locations in your fonts.conf file
gedit /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
mine are in /usr/share/fonts
