= Adding new fonts as the superuser
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
System fonts are available to all system users. If you need to add system fonts, you have two ways to do it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. You can use the `dnf` package manager to install font packages,
|
||
|
|
. or you can manually add fonts to the system and update the font cache to make them available to the users.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[WARNING]
|
||
|
|
====
|
||
|
|
By adding systemwide fonts manually, you will not be able to control them with the package manager. If the font is provided as a distribution package, you should always use the package manager to install it.
