I have a TTF font file which I can double click in windows and click install and that font gets installed. But in case of Android   Putting TTF in /system/fonts alone doesn't help Using font changers from market (what they do is basically put the TTF file in the fonts directory renaming it to Roboto) works, but they change system wide font   What I want is, use my default font everywhere except in say an Urdu eBook which declares specific Urdu font to be used which I want to install.  More like a Windows approach to install a font, how can I do that in Android? I'm using 4.4.4

As of version 2.7 of luaotfload the support for font feature files (.fea) .  On the  Hans showed how to make font substitution work through Lua.  More examples are available in the latest ConTeXt distribution (, , , , , , )  In the past I have been using font feature files to adjust the kerning of fonts on-the-fly.  From Hans' example it is not clear to me how to adjust kerning in the new syntax.  The below example does not work as intended.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \directlua{ fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {     name = "kern",     {         type = "pair",         data = {             [0x0041] = { [0x0056] = { false, { -200, 0, 0, 0 } } },         }     } } } \setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman} \begin{document} AV \end{document}   Can we have a comprehensive guide on how to adjust font features with LuaTeX with the fonts.handlers technique?    Related questions:  (These involve hooking into the luaotfload.patch_font callback)

I know you can put custom fonts in say C:\Windows\Fonts and applications will be able to find and use them. However this is only possible when you have administrator access to the machine, which is rarely the case in shared environments.  Is there a general way to use custom fonts from some other location suitable for non-admin users? If not, is there any manner specific for Adobe Fireworks (CS3) and Office 2007?  I'm interested mainly in XP and Vista, but a solution that works for other Windows versions would be great.

I wanted to use Monaco.ttf with IntelliJ. Unfortunately it doesn't show up.  I also noticed that the Monaco font doesn't appear in the list of fonts got from awt:  java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getAvailableFontFamilyNames()   I installed Monaco.ttf  in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/osx  I also tried to copy it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/fonts and even tried to manually update the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/fonts/fonts.dir file  I restarted the jvm at each try, but the fonts is not visible from the sun jdk.  All other applications see that font (even eclipse, which is in java but uses the SWT library)  Does anybody know how to make jdk see additional fonts?

When I manually specify the Linux Libertine O font types fontspec should load, the bold type is significantly bolder than when I load the exact same font family as a system font.  MWE:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont % load font from path     [         Path = C:/Windows/Fonts/,         Extension = .otf,         UprightFont = LinLibertine_R,         BoldFont = LinLibertine_RB,         ItalicFont = LinLibertine_RI,         BoldItalicFont = LinLibertine_RBI,     ]     {libertine} \newfontfamily\libertinesystemfont{Linux Libertine O} % load font from system font  \begin{document} \LARGE{\textbf{A large heading in bold type}}  \textit{ABC\textbf{\underline{V\char"0306}}DE}.  \libertinesystemfont{ \LARGE{\textbf{A large heading in bold type}}  \textit{ABC\textbf{\underline{V\char"0306}}DE}. } \end{document}     Peeking into my .log file, I cannot detect anything that would explain why these font types look different:  ................................................. . fontspec info: "defining-font" .  .

Huge Ubuntu fan here, I really like the Ubuntu font, but as far as I know you may only use it in open-source applications. I want to use it in an iPhone/iPad app. Due to Apple's contracts, I can't make the project open-source.  So, the question actually is, is it allowed to use/distribute the Ubuntu font in an iPhone/iPad application (free or paid)? Would be great if that's allowed!

I've noticed that most custom fonts include a license.txt file that requests some amount of money for a commercial license.  I am interested in whether it is also necessary to license OS (Mac/Windows) included fonts for commercial use.  As a side question, is font theft an issue in the industry?

I am an absolute beginner with LaTeX. I have Texnic Centre and MikTeX 2.8. I just want to be able to use the truetype or opentype fonts from my C:/Windows/Fonts folder. How hard can it be? Apparently, very.   I have found a  that says I can use , but I have absolutely no idea how to use XeTeX. I think it's installed - it came with MikTeX, but I don't know how to get it working. I'd really appreciate some "baby steps" on how I can get this working.  Thanks  Edit  I have tried konrad's suggestion below and got a fontsec.cfg error. However, using the following:  \usepackage{xltxtra} \setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Tahoma}   I got it to work. I don't know why the first failed and this one worked, but it does appear to be using system fonts.

I've accidently installed the wrong font as 'Helvetica'. I found a font called Helvetica online when I was looking at desktop customization, etc and I went and installed it. However, it's not actually Helvetica. I've now got a proper Helvetica font, but I can't seem to install it (it installs as Helvetica LT Std. Is there any way for me to delete 'Helvetica' and rename 'Helvetica LT Std' to 'Helvetica'?  Cheers, Chintan

I see many posts in how to changes the font and font size, but none for changing the default font for a document to bold font. I believe this is called changing the font series. The approach in  (obtained by random Googling) looks like it should work, but doesn't do anything when I stick it in the preamble. Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place.  \fontencoding{T1} \fontfamily{garamond} \fontseries{m} \fontshape{it} \fontsize{12}{15} \selectfont   There is also some discussion .

I want to embed fonts in my WinForms application so that I don't have to worry about them being installed on the machine. I've searched a bit on the MSDN site and found a few hints about using native Windows API calls, for instance Michael Caplan's (sp?) tutorial linked to by Scott Hanselman. Now, do I really have to go through all that trouble? Can't I just use the resource part of my app? If not I'll probably go the installing route. In that case, can I do that programmatically? By just copying the font file to the Windows\Fonts folder? I am aware of licensing issues.

thanks for your help in advance. I was wondering how to use the mainfont type for some features in the math environment. For example, let's say I'm using "font A" which I've uploaded using some otf file for the text and for math environment I'm using default LaTeX math font. While font A doesn't have greek letters, I'd still like to use it for the math environment when feasible (for example, letters of the alphabet and words like "max," "lim," etc.) How can I get my math environment to use font A for this but default math environment for the items that aren't accounted for in font A?  (Disclaimer: I know people will say you shouldn't mess with fonts/math environments like this, and I generally agree, but choosing not to do something and not being able to do it are separate things--and I'd still like to know how!)

I tried installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer from the terminal, because I want to use Wine.  It looked kind of like it failed on the Comic Sans part. Viewing it just displays the text in another font.  Then this Failure to download extra data files window popped up.    I tried uninstalling ttf-mscorefonts-installer from the terminal and then reinstalling it by following the instructions in . This time it failed to fetch the first font, andale32.exe. I got an error message that said: invalid content-range header.   What should I do?
