Font installation

[otaj]

Hi,

I wanted to ask, what is the preferred way of obtaining used font (Futura Bk bt) on ArchLinux? I have installed from package (arc-gtk-theme) and noticed, that the font Futura Bk bt is nowhere to be found. I know, there is a fallback for Cantarell and sans-serif, however, I would very much prefer to use the intended font.

Thanks

Futura Bk bt is not an open source font, so most likely you won't find it from any package repositories.

Futura Bt appears to be a commercial font family from Bitstream. However, if you search for "Futura Bk bt", it seems to be widely available as a free download from various font web sites, so I'm assuming at least the book variant has been freely available at some point (though I couldn't find any official download, or confirmation on this).

If you want to use it as your desktop font, download it from any source you can find, and install it by yourself.
