Linux Better Font

Configures Fedora to use the complete Google Noto collection as its base font fallback and applies Ubuntu-style desktop rendering.

Font Policy

• Uses Noto Sans, Noto Serif, and Noto Sans Mono for the generic font families.
• Installs google-noto-fonts-all and builds fallback lists from every installed Noto family so uncommon writing systems remain available to native and Flatpak applications.
• Enables antialiasing, slight hinting, RGB subpixel rendering, and the default LCD filter.
• Rejects non-scalable bitmap fonts while preserving scalable color emoji.

google-noto-fonts-all is a large metapackage. It installs hundreds of font packages and can consume more than 1 GB depending on the Fedora release.

Install

By default, the configuration is installed for the current user.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/install.sh | bash

Use --root to install the configuration system-wide for all users:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --root

Flatpak applications are configured automatically when Flatpak is installed.

Fully close and reopen native and Flatpak applications after installation.

Status

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/status.sh | bash

Check the system-wide configuration with --root:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/status.sh | bash -s -- --root

The status command verifies the font configuration and Flatpak integration.

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/uninstall.sh | bash

Remove the system-wide configuration with --root:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/faelayis/Linux-Better-Font/main/uninstall.sh | bash -s -- --root

Uninstall restores the previous font behavior but keeps the installed Noto packages.
