Installation Instructions for Linux--
Installing True Type Fonts and making them operational is somewhat trickey.
Please follow the instruction carefully and in case of any doubt or/and
further question please follow this

Eevn after taking pain of installing TT fonts in Linux, some of
these fonts may not work but most of them will certainly. Shusha
and Udgam do not work with this method. For
Udgam fonts follow the instructions given at www.udgam.com
and for Shusha fonts, instructions are given at the end of this page.
1. Unzip the file 'hindifonts.zip'.
2. Get 'root' capability and then make a directory hindifonts
$ su -
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/share/fonts/hindifonts
$ cd /usr/local/share/fonts/hindifonts
3. Convert upper case font names to lower case
$ for i in * ; do [ -f $i ] && mv -i $i `echo $i | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`; done;
4. If you are using 'xfs' (RedHat based distribution)
then ther are two ways to install these fonts. For other distributions
please follow this
link.
(a) Open '/etc/X11/fs/config' file
$ vi /etc/X11/fs/config
and add '/usr/local/share/fonts/hindifonts' to the file. After addition
the file should look like this--
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
/usr/local/share/fonts/hindifonts
(b) Open '/etc/X11/XF86Config'
$ vi /etc/X11/XF86Config
and add '/usr/local/share/fonts/hindifonts' to the file. After addition
the file should look like this--
# FontPath "unix/:-1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
