Fonts for Homebrew on Linux

homebrew-linux-fonts is a Homebrew Tap which allows you to use the same friendly Homebrew-style CLI workflow for the administration of binary font files on your Linux. It is a fork of homebrew-cask-fonts, since Homebrew Casks are only for macOS.

Prerequisites

These fonts are installable with Homebrew. Once installed, you can configure this repo as a source for fonts.

Note that this repo differs from the upstream repository, homebrew/homebrew-cask-fonts. The set of fonts available may not match exactly. Changes to upstream eventually propagate to this repo.

Let’s try it!

$ brew tap homebrew/linux-fonts          # you only have to do this once!
$ brew install font-inconsolata --HEAD

Working with fontconfig

If you're using major distributions in a single-user installation, run:

$ ln -s /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/fonts -t ~/.local/share
$ fc-cache -fv

For a multi-user installation, you must use sudo to run the commands:

$ sudo ln -s /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/share/fonts -t /usr/local/share
$ sudo fc-cache -fv

Then you can use the new font installed by brew.

Development

Submitting a Font Cask and Bugs

This repository automatically imports new font casks from the upstream repository with a bot program, so changes there will propagate to this repository automatically eventually.

Skipping translations by `.caskignore`

Some casks are incompatible with formula definition method. cask2formula will skip translation for files listed in .caskignore. .caskignore is written in Ruby's fnmatch syntax.

Font Licenses

This repository follows homebrew-cask-fonts's policy regarding font licenses:

homebrew-cask-fonts will only accept fonts which are freely-distributable. However, even freely-distributable fonts may have limitations (for instance, if you use them in a commercial enterprise). It is the responsibility of the user to know and respect the license of each font.
