I have a installed Debian on my laptop (base system, x-window-system and i3-wm). Now I'd like to set up fonts from ubuntu 11.10 to my debian wheezy. How I can do it?
A safe and easy approach is to put the necessary font files under your home directory after which you rebuild the font cache.
Go to http://font.ubuntu.com/ and choose "Download for free"
unzip the downloaded file and move the folder to the directory ~/.fonts/ (create it if it doesn't exist with mkdir ~/.fonts)
run the command fc-cache to rebuild the font cache
