I would like to install/use the 'urw chancery' font in the Libre Office Writer.



I have a limited knowledge of Linux. I've managed to install some of the Microsoft's fonts (.ttf format) that worked just fine in the Libre Office Writer.



Could someone provide me with a step-by-step guide on how to do it for the 'urw chancery' font as well?

  • First you need to download the font, double click on the .ttf file, and press the button 'install' in the new window that will pop up. After that, open your terminal and type: sudo cp ~/.local/share/fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/; Then type this: sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/*.ttf; And finally type this: sudo fc-cache -f -v; This should do it :)

In Ubuntu 18.04, I just did the following





  1. Download the .otf or .ttf file.

  2. Double click on it and click on the green Install button in the Popup.

  3. (Re)Start LibreOffice and the font should be available in the font menu.




There wasn't any need for any terminal command.

  • @user781538 You can delete default or installed fonts by installing Font Manager using the command "sudo apt-get install font-manager". You can also delete them manually but I don't know the directories for the default fonts. The custom installed fonts are in /usr/share/fonts /usr/local/share/fonts ~/.fonts (if installed for a single user) ~/.local/share/fonts (if installed via Font Viewer) depending on your system and how you installed them.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form?
