如何在Ubuntu18.04上安装Gnome 3.28中提供的新Cantarell字体？

Question

Gnome 3.28发布说明说，Cantarell字体经历了重大的更新，但是这种字体并没有在Ubuntu18.04中预装，软件中心提供的版本已经很多年没有更新了。

有办法安装新的吗？

Answer 1

您可以从Cantarell github页面获取最新的信息，并从源代码：https://github.com/madig/cantarell-fonts/releases构建它。

最新的发布日期是2018年3月15日的0.101。

构建和安装非常简单：

sudo apt install python3-pip meson ninja-build
pip3 install --user fontmake
pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/adobe-type-tools/psautohint.git@v1.1.0#egg=psautohint
meson build
cd build
sudo ninja install

结果：
