There is a lovely AUR package out there to download a Windows iso automatically and extract the fonts. I like having them on my system for web fingerprinting privacy reasons.
don’t forget comic shanns
Where do you get the fonts from? I did install the microsoft proprietary ones, but don’t know about the rest. So far I don’t really mind the Ubuntu default ones (I like having options and disc-space isn’t a concern here). But I love having more options.
I just search for them wherever. Sometimes I have to use torrents or go to some pretty dodgy sites, but what are they gonna do, give me a Windows virus? 😏

Thx a lot, will try when I find the time
google fonts are legit great. Just don’t do what I did and figure out how to install ALL the Google fonts… did that on my Ubuntu machines and it seems to play a significant role in why GIMP takes a decade to load and regularly freeze (also being on a 13 year old Mac might play a role). Was much more discerning on my laptop running Mint lol
Oh jeez, yes. Btw do you havw it as a dwb/flatpack or snap? Because flatpacks and snaps also are usually slower to open because of the sandboxing going on
You uninstall fonts? Never even considered that.
I used to do that sometimes back near the turn of the century when font pickers hadn’t learned to put a most-recently-used list at the top yet and you needed to scroll through hundreds if you installed several office suites or other publishing software.
It’s the worst when I’m not looking for a specific font, just scrolling for something that fits what I’m working on. Lots of those fonts don’t even display on my system, I guess because of my language/location.
Seems like an obvious UX issue - any collection expected to have more than a handful of elements should allow the user to filter that collection, in this instance probably using a search mechanism.

I'm much more partial to Courier
BRB. Going to install DIABLO font and change my whole system to it.
Must… install… Monofonto…
Ooh, that’s a good one. Thanks!
Floydian font is perfect for murder notes
I just love Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, i force it everywhere. I’m definitely getting older
What about Paintball Pro and Splafont 2? 🤨
Comic Mono NF, unironically the best monospace font I’ve used in the terminal or in IDEs
That’s the wonkiest Gorton I’ve seen. It’s like Gorton Comic or something.
Agreed. It does look weird. I must have gotten the wrong version or something.
TopazNG or bust!
