Rants and thoughts about PC's and Operating Systems, much of it drivel, some of it useful.

Install Dina Programming font

Sunday, November 21, 2010

The Dina Programming Font is a monospace bitmap font, primarily aimed at programmers and looks great in your favorite terminal.  Per the donationcoder.com site, the Dina font is free. You are welcome to use, distribute and modify it however you want, just don't use it for anything illegal or claim that you made it.

It's fairly simple to install this font under Linux as well.

$ su

# mkdir /usr/share/fonts/Dina
# cd /usr/share/fonts/Dina
# unp /path/to/Dina.zip
# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
 Enable bitmapped fonts
# fc-cache -f -v


Restart any open terminals, change the font to Dina.  Simple enough eh?
