Simple and effective, thanks!
Here's a simpler solution. In your home directory:
mkdir .fonts
git clone git://github.com/google/fonts.git .fonts/google-fonts
fc-cache -f
There are other directories where you can store fonts, e.g. ~/.local/share/fonts
or /usr/local/share/fonts
if you want them to be available to all users. See https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts#Manually for more info.
PS if there are any fonts that you don't want to import (for example system fonts that you already have like google-fonts/ofl/cantarell
or google-fonts/ufl/ubuntu
) just delete the directories for the fonts you don't want to import before running fc-cache
.
Some suggestion
git clone --depth=1 $giturl
also is ttf not tff :-)
sudo find $pkgdir -type f -name "Cantarell-*.ttf" -delete \;
sudo find $pkgdir -type f -name "Ubuntu-*.ttf" -delete \;

@oldman20 I know this worked at the time that I wrote and published it, but that was a long time ago and I no longer use debian/ubuntu personally. Sorry I can't help.
thanks anyway, bad news :(

try that one -> https://github.com/hotice/webupd8/blob/master/install-google-fonts
Failing due to commas in apt-get statement. Does not install Cantrell Ubuntu or Git just skips them. Also, apt-get is obsolete you could just use apt. Lastly, Personally, I would uninstall roboto before I installed anything at all.
@skylerwebdev hey, this is just a gist — I've updated the script to remove the commas, but really — it's 4 years old and probably no longer up to date. Don't use this.
@keeferrourke I will be steailing this gist and giving you props it still works 100% and is the only gist out there that does so! I actually went thru to the git link u have posted to googlefonts and last update was 3 days ago GREAT JOB
This still works really well! The Google Fonts repo seems to be maintained @ https://github.com/google/fonts and this still seems safe to use. Even on 20.04 fonts-cantarell
and fonts-roboto
are still available in universe repos. Thank you for publishing this!
If anyone wants a GUI, they can check out typecatcher
: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/08/typecatcher-google-fonts-download-for-ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y typecatcher
make the script executable, then ....
./install-google-fonts.sh
still working fine 11/05/2020

@keeferrourke, could I make a suggestion to change line 15 to git clone $giturl --depth 1
so that unnecessary git history is not cloned? Makes for a much faster install.
Still working like a charm!
i've create an installer for individual fonts, and for more systems, than just debian: https://github.com/alexmyczko/fnt
Perfect!
