How to install Ubuntu/Infinality fonts in Manjaro Linux




The Ubuntu Font Family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts. The development is being funded by Canonical on behalf the wider Free Software community and the Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag.
Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve. The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens.
The scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used by the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with Ubuntu's philosophy which states that every user should be able to use their software in the language of their choice. So the Ubuntu Font Family project will be extended to cover many more written languages.

Well as a Manjaro Linux user i appreciate using Ubunto font with my Manjaro,and i would like to share this experiance with you.

But before we start, i want to let you know that this method involves installing packages "directly from the Arch repository" and the Manjaro Wiki itself warns that, so to avoid any future problem i recommend you to backup /etc/fonts directory.

Now in addition to Ubuntu & Infinality fonts, an Arch Linux member called "bohoomil" (who previously hosted the infinality-fontconfig-ultimate package in AUR) has rolled out new font package called "infinality bundle".

How can i install .bundle file ?

Before we start installing Ubuntu or Infinality fonts, we need to install MS fonts :

$ yaourt -S ttf-ms-fonts
In order to use the repository, you need to add the following to your pacman.conf :

$ sudo mousepad pacman.conf



















And add these lines :


[infinality-bundle]
Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/$arch

If you want to access multilib libraries in x86_64 architecture as well, add also this:
[infinality-bundle-multilib]Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/multilib/$arch
Additionaly, if you want to use a comprehensive collection of free fonts from the infinality-bundle-fonts repository, append :

[infinality-bundle-fonts]Server = http://bohoomil.com/repo/fonts
Now you should , import and sign the key:

# pacman-key -r 962DDE58# pacman-key --lsign-key 962DDE58
Refresh the package list :

# pacman -Syyu
And finally, install the bundle with :

# pacman -S infinality-bundle
Restore stock fonts :

If you want to restore default Manjaro Linux font use this cmd :

# pacman -S --asdeps freetype2 cairo fontconfig

That's all enjoy
