  <title>Add an extra font for individual users</title>

  <p>You can install an extra font which will be available to a specific user
  on your system in applications that use <sys>fontconfig</sys> for
  font handling.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>Install an extra font</title>
    <item>
      <p>Copy the font to the <file>~/.local/share/fonts/</file>
      directory to install it.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>You may need to run the following command to update the font cache:</p>
      <screen><output>$ </output><input>fc-cache ~/.local/share/fonts</input></screen>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>You may need to restart running applications to see the changes. User
  sessions do not need to be restarted.</p>
