You could have copied the fonts over, fixed the obvious errors and then googled on how to change the default system font for CentOS. This should have been easy for you to solve on your own. In my view, you have 1000 or so posts here at. These messages are your friend and are free. Trapping all the possible errors and outputting error and status messages for "other users" can take more time than the original code. If you ever write code, getting the code to work is "one thing". Those messages are important and critical for system admin. The developers of software take a lot of time to create code which traps errors and outputs status messages to help users. Relevant or not to the immediate task at hand, as a sys admin you should understand fix these errors. When you are installing or configuration something, you should read the error and status messages very carefully (as I did in your posts) and work to fix those errors before asking "why something does not work or not". In my view, you should hone your trouble shooting and system admin skills. In addition, you had a lot of initial errors in your configuration because you copies from another server. So in summary, if you don't mind: you installed a font which you did not know the font family (or the basics of font management).īecause you installed a font with knowing the font family, you did not have the information required to update your nf file to specify the font family for the new default in the configuration file. Moving ahead with the suggestion i seek help from this article: How To Set Default Fonts and Font Aliases on LinuxĬreated the config file ~/.config/fontconfig/nf I saw on the net where many people change their default system fonts on CentOS using the or directive: So, for CentOS, I think you can change the default system font by adding the directive to your nf file. On the other hand, using apt, I have never installed with apt using a wildcard (*) like you show in your post. So, if "you messed your default fonts up", I don't think it was because you decided to installing lsb_release. Lsb_release has little to do with fonts, as you know. Linux is the kernel, not the "distribution". Your issue changing system fonts is a CentOS issue, not a Linux issue, per se. Linux is the kernel, everything else falls under the actual distribution. The operating environment is defined by the distribution (in your case CentOS). In closing, I would like to caution you about saying "changing fonts on Linux system" (as in the title of this discussion you posted). Fonts matching the element are edited to prepend the list of ed families before the matching, append the able families after the matching and append the families to the end of the family list.įrankly, I don't change system fonts on my servers and when I login remotely (everyday), I change the console fonts using the terminal program (I use Roboto and Anonymous Pro fonts) not with the system fonts.Īnyway, I not really very helpful on this, so I think you can easily Google around about how to change the default system font in CentOS and make good progress. They contain a element followed by optional, and elements. = != !=!=:=/= & & &= ++ +++ *** !! ?: ?.Alias elements provide a shorthand notation for the set of common match operations needed to substitute one font family for another.
