Using Roboto on Fedora

Using Android's Roboto font is pretty easy on Fedora (or any other Linux flavour). Just download the Roboto zip, open it up, copy the ttf files into your ~/.fonts dir, and refresh your font cache. From there, you can use the font in any program (though you may need to reload it first).

Here are the steps:

wget https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/design/Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip
unzip Roboto_Hinted_20111129.zip
mkdir ~/.fonts
mv Roboto_Hinted_20111129/*.ttf ~/.fonts
fc-cache
