[SOLVED] Can be possible install Victor mono font un a WSL?

Issue

Im new in this and i hope anyone can help me

I tried to install the font from the caché in the terminal in wsl in Windows. I have installed the font in Windows but wsl not .

I tried with Apt-caché search Victor Mono

But it doesn’t works and with roboto it does.

Solution

Installing a Font in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

To install a font in WSL, follow these steps:

1. Check Font Location: Confirm that the font file (e.g., VictorMono.ttf) is located in a directory accessible from your WSL instance. You can copy the font file to your WSL home directory for simplicity.

2. Install Font: You can use the fc-cache command to update the font cache in WSL and make the font available. Open a terminal in your WSL instance and run the following commands:

   sudo cp /mnt/c/path/to/VictorMono.ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/
   sudo fc-cache -fv
   

   Note that /mnt/c is the path to the C: drive in Windows when you're working within WSL.

3. Verify Installation: You can verify that the font is installed by running the following command in your WSL terminal:

   fc-list | grep "Victor Mono"
   

Hope this help !!
