How To Find Fun New Fonts For Ubuntu:

NEW! 465 Fonts: http://crunchbang.org/archives/2008/06/14/aenigma-fonts-for-ubuntu/

Very exciting that there is an easy way to install a large number of wild and amazing fonts! VitalBodies downloaded the DEB file (from crunchbang’s PPA) and chose to use the Gdebi Package Installer which automatically installed the fonts. Could not have been easier. The fonts loaded and all that was required to see them in Inkscape was to reboot. We could not find them with Fonty Python until we looked in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/aenigma.

Even then only 10 show up…

…Unless you press the forward button. At that point one notices they show up ten at a time and that they seem to all be there. Not noticing that button must be one of the drawbacks of having a really wide screen. : )

The font thing in Ubuntu is a bit challenging and this package is VERY helpful. VitalBodies wants to thank crunchbang, their helper and the artist…

According to crunchbang’s site the package and fonts are released under the Artistic License 2.0.
