Linux 下安装中文字体

本文以安装黑体simhei.ttf为例，简单演示如何在Linux下安装中文字体。

环境信息介绍

[root@thatsit ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)
[root@thatsit ~]#

[root@thatsit ~]# uname -r
3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64

[root@thatsit ~]# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
[root@thatsit ~]# cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
[root@thatsit ~]#

[root@thatsit ~]# locale

依赖的命令

操作依赖几个命令，如果系统中不存在需要手动安装下。

• fc-list：列举可用的字体
• fc-cache：生成字体信息的缓存

这两个命令包含在fontconfig包里，可以通过下面的命令进行安装。

yum install fontconfig

• mkfontscale：生成字体索引

这个命令属于xorg-x11-font-utils工具包，可以通过下面的命令进行安装。

yum install mkfontscale

操作步骤

• 创建一个用于存放中文字体的目录

mkdir /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN

PS: /usr/share/fonts/这个目录会在安装fontconfig包之后自动创建

• 上传字体simhei.ttf到上述目录中

• 构建字体索引和缓存

# cd /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN # 需要进到这个目录
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
fc-cache -fv

执行上述命令之后，在目录下可以看到一个fonts.dir和一个fonts.scale文件

[root@thatsit zh_CN]# pwd
/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN
[root@thatsit zh_CN]# ll
total 9532
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      66 Sep  4 11:39 fonts.dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root      66 Sep  4 11:39 fonts.scale
-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root 9751960 Sep  4 11:38 simhei.ttf
[root@thatsit zh_CN]#

文件内容

[root@thatsit zh_CN]# cat fonts.dir
1
simhei.ttf -misc-simhei-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
[root@thatsit zh_CN]# cat fonts.scale
1
simhei.ttf -misc-simhei-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
[root@thatsit zh_CN]#

• 查看字体
