-Installing on Linux:
-
-There are many different Linux distributions and some handle font management
-differently. These instructions are for the most common Linux distributions:
-
-1. Create a folder called ".fonts" in your home directory.
- Example: mkdir -p ~/.fonts
-
-2. Copy the otf files in the "Desktop" folder into your .fonts directory
- Example: cp "Desktop"/*.otf ~/.fonts/
-
-You may have to restart apps and/or your window server session.
-
-Again, these instructions are for the most common Linux distributuons like
-Ubuntu and might not apply to you. Refer to the documentation for your
-distribution for more details on how to manage fonts in your OS.

-Q&A
-
-Q: I installed the fonts but they don't show up
-A: Try rebuilding the font database:
- sudo fc-cache -f -v
- Then restart your program(s).
-
-Q: Is there a way to tell if Inter was actually installed?
-A: Try running: fc-list | grep "Inter"
-
-Q: ~/.fonts is an old thing. The new thing is ~/.local/share/fonts
-A: Yes, that is true for recent distributions. These distros usually support
- ~/.fonts as well making these instructions work for everyone. Yay.
