Hi I would like to know how do I add fonts from Dafont and then use it for Obsidian. Because I use Obsidian for Diary on daily basis so I would highly appreciate someone could explain how to.
What desktop environment are you using @EmilioL?
I dont know about obsidian.
But you can manually place font files in the ~/.local/share/fonts directory.
PS.
Some symlink ~/.fonts to there, which is the deprecated legacy path.
PPS.
And there is also root - at /usr/share/fonts but this should generally be left to the distro and/or packages.

If you’re in a Gtk-based DE and prefer the GUI, you could also use font-manager. I love that (using EOS/Cinnamon).

Hi I am using Gnome and I just need to add the fonts into the system fonts, the reason is from what I understand when I go into Obsidian, it would appear in there.
I just installed obsidian to check - it would appear that, at least by default, it does not source user fonts.
So you will either need to actually install the font or otherwise place it in the /usr/share/fonts firectory, as above.
