Adding Hindi Fonts to Ubuntu Font Family

I wish to add more Hindi fonts to the Ubuntu Font Library, so that I can use them in LibreOffice.

The three font types are available on this website in TTF format on this website. http://www.abhivyakti-hindi.org/abhi/hindi_shusha_fonts_dl_help.htm

How do I add them?

Solution 1:

You can install fonts from terminal:

sudo apt-get install fonts-indic

Solution 2:

First download fonts.

Then open Nautilus as root using the command: gksudo nautilus or sudo -H nautilus

Now copy your font file to /usr/share/fonts.

You can also paste it in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family

(Type ctrl+L to navigate quickly)

Now you can easily use those fonts In LibreOffice.

Solution 3:

Just go to the website you mentioned and click on the one you want.

Open it and click on install

and it will be installed. You can search for it in your LibreOffice Writer.
