If you manually add system-wide fonts, 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.
Whenever you can add new fonts by installing a font package with the `dnf` package manager, you should do so. This method gives you enough control over the font package in the future, such as updating the package and removing it from the system.
To install a font package with `dnf`:
.Before you start
* Add and enable repositories with font packages.
+
[NOTE]
====
A lot of fonts are available from the RPMfusion repository. To enable the repository on your system, follow the instructions on link:https://rpmfusion.org/Configuration[the RPMfusion webpage].
====
.Procedure
. List all available font packages from enabled repositories.
When you need to install fonts that are not available in a repository, you can install them manually by copying the font files into a system font directory and updating the font cache.
.Procedure
. Create a new directory in the system's font directory `/usr/share/fonts`, where you will place the font files.

----
$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/robofont
----
. Copy the font file to the font's directory created in the previous step.
