465 Free Fonts for Ubuntu


465 Free Fonts for Ubuntu

Brian Kent is a prolific font designer. At 32 years old he has already amassed an impressive collection of handmade fonts. He's also a really nice guy and has agreed to let me package his free fonts for Ubuntu.

I have used Brian's fonts in many design projects. Some of my favourite fonts from his collection include:

3DLET

Example of 3DLET font.

Blackoninaut

Example of Blackoninaut font.

BLOX2

Example of Blox2 font.

Dephunked

Example of Dephunked font.

Symmetry

Example of Symmetry font.

Xtrusion

Example of Xtrusion font.

That was just 6 of the 465 free fonts in the package. And according to Brian, all of the fonts are Freeware and you can use them in anyway you want [personal use, commercial use, or whatever.]

How to Install the Fonts

You can browse and download Brian's fonts directly from his website. Or, to install all of the fonts simply follow the instructions below. The instructions should work for both Feisty and Gutsy.

1. Open your apt sources.list file for editing with the following terminal command:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file:

deb     http://ppa.launchpad.net/corenominal/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/corenominal/ubuntu gutsy main

3. Close gedit and issue the following terminal command to update apt:

sudo apt-get update

4. Still in the terminal, enter the following command to install the package:

sudo apt-get install ttf-aefonts

5. Enjoy your new fonts!
