Adding Fonts to Fontconfig and Geany editor in centos

 Adding Fonts to Fontconfig

Adding new fonts to the Fontconfig subsystem is a straightforward process.

1. To add fonts system-wide, copy the new fonts into the /usr/share/fonts/ directory. It is a good idea to create a new subdirectory, such as local/ or similar, to help distinguish between user-installed and default fonts.
   To add fonts for an individual user, copy the new fonts into the .fonts/ directory in the user's home directory.
   
2. Use the fc-cache command to update the font information cache, as in the following example:
   

   fc-cache <path-to-font-directory>

   In this command, replace <path-to-font-directory> with the directory containing the new fonts (either /usr/share/fonts/local/ or /home/<user>/.fonts/).
