Some of your non-technical email may look strange if you force your mail reader to display in those fonts, though. } I've never tried to add a font to Linux, can you point me in } the right direction? Some good doc? It depends on your Linux distribution, probably. Usually you install fonts as software packages like you'd install any other program. In your package manager, try searching for "truetype" or "ttfont" or just "font". (And once again we've wandered off-topic, but it's hard to use a shell without a good fixed-width font.)
