How can you install new fonts to LibreOffice snap?
can anybody tell me how to install new fonts in LibreOffice snap? Is there any font manager for this?
You must copy your fonts into ~/.fonts
folder, then in terminal type
sudo fc-cache -fv
Go to the ~/snap/libreoffice/current/
path and make a link to ~/.fonts
folder by the command below:
ln -s {source-filename} {symbolic-filename}
i.e. here in particular
ln -s ~/.fonts .fonts
Close LibreOffice, if it is open.
Open Terminal - hold "Ctrl", "Alt" and press "T" - then enter:
sudo fc-cache -fv
Change your "working" directory - that is, where you are in Terminal - to that of LibreOffice:
cd ~/snap/libreoffice/current
Create a symbolic link ("shortcut") to your font folder:
ln -s /home/your-ubuntu-username/.local/share/fonts
Then run this command:
ln -s ~/.fonts .fonts
This should work (it did for me just then!) and I've tried to make it as easy to follow as possible - but you don't feel comfortable using Terminal commands, you can always switch to the "regular" version of LibreOffice...
Open Ubuntu Software and search for "libreoffice" - remove the one that has references to "snap" or "snapcraft.io" when you click on it (i.e. on the page that has the picture, description, etc...) - it should have these references under the "Details" section towards the bottom.
Hit the "back" arrow and install the "regular" version of the LibreOffice programs you need to use - these should not contain any references to "snap" or "snapcraft.io" under the "Details" section at the bottom.
