Sorry, I forgot to remind you to undo the change in the yum configuration file once you have your fonts installed (i.e, restore the 1 in the gpgcheck line).

I have followed the instructions and successfully installed the fonts in my Acer Aspire One netbook.

The last command, however, requires a previous tweaking. First you have to open the yum configuration file as root:

sudo mousepad /etc/yum.conf

Then change the line containing “gpgcheck=1″ replacing the 1 by a 0 (zero). Save file.

Now you can proceed to the last command. By the way, the command you have to type to update the font cache is

sudo fc-cache -f -v

That should be enough!

For anyone that’s interested, it’s available in the FreeBSD ports under

/usr/ports/x11-fonts/webfonts

Thanks I can confirm it work on my aspire one after a reboot.

I had to change the –nogpgcheck to –nogpgcheck to get the last 2 statements to work however
