How to Install Google Fonts on Fedora 40 – Step by step

How to Install

2. 2. Installing Google Fonts

   Now to Install Google Fonts on Fedora
   First, make the target Directory with:

   sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/googlefonts

   For a Local install instead put then under: ~/.local/share/fonts/
   And then extract the Archive directly into the Target with:

   sudo unzip -d /usr/share/fonts/googlefonts ~/Downloads/Open_Sans.zip

   But if you are in Trouble to Find the Location on Terminal then See: How to Access Downloads Folder from Browser.
   Especially relevant: in case replace the “Open_Sans” above with the current choice.
   Next to fix Permissions to default play:

   sudo chmod -R --reference=/usr/share/fonts/opentype /usr/share/fonts/googlefonts

   Authenticate with the User Admin Pass.
   If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo.
   Again to register the Fonts issue:

   sudo fc-cache -fv

   Finally, to check the Font setup use:

   fc-match OpenSans
