Mac Fonts on Ubuntu
*NIX August 17th, 2009 by Shai Perednik
I’m wrting up some documentation in OpenOffice Writer, but I miss my MAC fonts in Pages. There’s a fix for that.
sudo apt-get install fondu
Thanks to das_syndrom for his post on ubuntuforums.org and this next part
Copy the .dfont files to a temp-directory
Convert them to *.ttf-files with fondu.
Put the *.ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/macfonts
And finally thanks to ubuntu-unleashed.com for the most important final part:
sudo fc-cache -f -v
Now you can use MAC fonts where you wish!
