    Which version of Kubuntu are you running?

    Usually, just open KPackageKit and in the search box enter "font", without the quotations, then click the search button. Install the ones you need. The fonts packages can have "ttf-" or "xfonts-" in front of their name.

      And with the KDE:

      System Settings > Font Installer (Install, manage, and preview fonts).

      It has build in / offline help. Click the lower left corner help button. Same from the net > Font Installer.


      Fonts from the > KDE-Look.org >> Fonts

        I've seen that double T in System Settings for years, but never remembered it when I wanted a font. I'd just run Synaptic and look for what I wanted.

            If you have Windows installed as a dual-boot scenario and have it automounted, you can either:

            1. edit the /etc/fonts/fonts.conf file to look in the <mount point>/ Windows/Fonts folder, or

            2. make a symlink in the /usr/share/fonts to point to above folder using Dolphin

            Doing the above will allow the fonts to be seen by all users on a system. For doing either you'll need to use (kde)sudo.
