Installation Myanmar Unicode TrueType fonts in Linux

  1. Download Zawgyi-One fonts and others myanmar true type(.ttf) fonts:
  2. Create a directory for new fonts
    # mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype
  3. Move the “.ttf” font files to the new font directory
    # mv *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype

  4. Navigate to the font directory
    # cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype
  5. Create fonts.scale and fonts.dir
    # mkfontscale && mkfontdir
    # fc-cache
  6. Add the new font directory to the X11 font path
    # chkfontpath –add /usr/share/fonts/truetype
  7. Restart X font server
    # /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart

You can verify the successful addition of the new path by running chkfontpath command or by listing X font server’s /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

If you do not have root access, copy the *.ttf to ~/.fonts directory instead.
