Bug Description
When I go under System > Preferences > Appearance [Fonts]. It doesn't allow me to "Go to the Fonts folder". Also the Help file doesn't reflect the change that the location is System > Preferences > Appearance [Fonts] rather than System > Preferences > Fonts.
To post a comment you must log in.
The way the help folder suggests still is incorrect. However this is a way to make it work:
Copy all your ttf files into a folder (ex: ~/.fonts)
Then run this command
fc-cache -fv [file ttfs are in] (ex: fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts)
Now you have new fonts for all programs to use.
