Hello,

I'm on linux and trying to add my fonts directories using

export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts/;$HOME/.fonts
>

however when I do, I get the following message:

bash: /home/drifter/.fonts: Is a directory
>

I'm not what I'm doing wrong or why it's not liking this. Any pointers
would be appreciated.

Use double quotes:
export OSFONTDIR="/usr/share/fonts/;$HOME/.fonts"

P.S. You may be interested to read bash scripting guide, but in short the
semicolon is used in shell (bash, zsh) to separate two or more commands in a
row, so your line was interpreted by a shell (I assume that it is bash) like
1 command: export OSFONTDIR=/usr/share/fonts
2 command: $HOME/.fonts
so indeed the $HOME/.fonts is a directory.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I added the line to my .bashrc file then from the command did source
~/.bashrc

I will try with quotes when i get home.
