Apple - Installing fonts from terminal instead of Font Book?
You can simply copy them into /Library/Fonts
(for system wide use) or ~/Library/Fonts
(for use by current user).
Install fonts with the following terminal command (replace BRLNSR
with your font):
cd ~/Library/Fonts && {
curl -O 'https://github.com/FrankHassanabad/ResumeBuilder/blob/master/fonts/src/main/resources/frankhassanabad/com/github/windowsfonts/BRLNSR.TTF'
cd -; }
This code does the following:
cd
into the fonts directorycurl
downloads the font- pops back to the original directory
This relies on the very nice fonts github repo from Frank Hassanabad with a bunch of fonts stored - but you could change the curl url to wherever the font you want is located online.
The clever way the cd
into a directory, download and pop out again came from user Atle's answer here.
