Symbol fonts required by wps-office.

WPS Office Fonts

These are the symbol fonts required by wps-office. They are used to display math formulas. We have collected the fonts here to make things easier.

Arch Linux Installation

You can use the ttf-wps-fonts package from the AUR.

Using the Install Script

You can use the install script on most distributions.

For this tutorial we will use the /tmp directory to temporary save the files.

Change to the /tmp directory.

cd /tmp

Clone the Git repository.

git clone https://github.com/iamdh4/ttf-wps-fonts.git

Enter the directory.

cd ttf-wps-fonts

Run the install script.

sudo bash install.sh

Clean up the tmp directory.

rm -rf /tmp/ttf-wps-fonts

Manual Installation

For this tutorial we will use the /tmp directory to temporary save the files.

Change to the /tmp directory.

cd /tmp

Clone the Git repository.

git clone https://github.com/iamdh4/ttf-wps-fonts.git

Create a sub directory in your system's fonts directory. This is usually /usr/share/fonts, otherwise consult your distribution's documentation.

sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/wps-fonts

Move fonts to the new directory.

sudo mv ttf-wps-fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/wps-fonts

Fix the file permissions.

sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/wps-fonts/*

Rebuild the font cache.

sudo fc-cache -vfs

Clean up the tmp directory.

rm -rf /tmp/ttf-wps-fonts

ttf-wps-fonts's Issues

Debian Package?

Would it be too much to ask for a debian repository (which would support Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc.)?

License information is missing

Where do these files come from?
What is the license?
Who are the authors?

Adjust fonts directory based on distribution

As of now, we are assuming that the fonts directory is at /usr/share/fonts.
In the manual installation README, we say

"....This is usually /usr/share/fonts, otherwise consult your distribution's documentation..."

The install script also assumes the same. This might not always be the case.
If anyone is up for taking the effort, we could perhaps find the fonts folder (through a command perhaps?) and automatically install it to the right folder.

Just a suggestion. Not sure if it's worth the effort.

If this does seem worth the effort, do let me know on how to go about it. I'd love to learn, figure it out and contribute

wps repository full installation

I made a new repository with a complete installation with the sources of tradutor offices in Spanish and installation of the whole program in a guided script step by step.
In case you want to see it.
I mention this repository is a good time for your part to free dogry
My script contains your script and a link to this repository

Name for fonts folder is "wps-office"

Linux Mint 21 Vanessa
Thank you for your work!
DEB pack for WPS office creates directory /usr/share/fonts/wps-office, so the fonts must be downloaded at the folder named
"wps-office" not wps-fonts".
So your manual installation explanation gives an opportunity to correct this.
