No "Fonts from Font Files" on Linux?

Question by Guest | Last update on 2024-07-03 | Created on 2023-11-03

I have a large collection of fonts on my Linux machine that I don't want to install all at once. However, the Linux version of PrintMyFonts doesn't have a option "Fonts from Font Files" that I know from the Windows version of that application.

I also tried adding my font directories to the "Default Fonts" in the "Fonts List" tab under settings.

Is there any way to accomplish printing non-system installed fonts in Linux?

Currently, this function is only available in the versions for Windows and MacOS.

PrintMyFonts is using a system API for registering the uninstalled fonts on these systems. On Linux, with its widespread of distributions and different window managers, it is not possible to do the same in such a general way.
