[SOLVED] Export fonts?

[DoYouKubuntu]

I have a few zillion fonts I've acquired over the years that I carry with me from computer to computer. But after installing everything I've got on my latest laptop, I find I'm missing a specific font family that I really like/want/need. So, I thought, no big deal, I'll just export it from one of my other computers...and then I realized I have no idea how to do that. (Yes, I've already looked in various font directories for this particular family, but since fonts don't always have meaningful names, just looking at their file names hasn't yielded anything.)

From within System Settings | Font Management, how can I export the fonts I want? Or identify their file names? Or...SOMETHING?!

Install a font manager.

I have Fontmatrix here which is really great, another one is Fonty Python Font Manager but it is a little unorthodox in use. Fontmatrix has an export function, but I've never needed to use it myself.

I spent some time yesterday plodding through font directories and actually found the font family in question. But it's good to know that something like Fontmatrix can help in the future.

@DoYouKubuntu: After reading your post it sounds like you've solved your issue, but for future reference all system wide icons are usually stored in /usr/share/icons within sub-directories under the name of the icon set. So to simply "export" your collection of icons simply

cp /usr/share/icons/* /to/destination/disk -a

Nick...it was a font family, not icons.
