Ubuntu Server, set terminal font to a custom ttf font?

I'm using Linux Mint 13, with Cinnamon. I have a .ttf file that I'm trying to use as my terminal font. I figured the directory for terminal fonts is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ so I copied my .ttf file there. However, it doesn't show up in the terminal preferences font list.

What am I doing wrong?

    You mean terminal emulator rather than tty font right?

  • Console font is not a truetype one

    @KorganRivera I'm somewhat concerned you may have misunderstood warl0ck's question. So, with appologies in advance for a possibly stupid question... Is this terminal running inside a graphical session; is it in a window? Or is it the entire screen, there aren't even menu bars, launcher, etc.? Do you select "Terminal" from a menu or launcher to get to it? [Getting a truetype font to work in X11 is a lot less work than for the vga or framebuffer terminal]

Your answer is probably there: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/tips-and-tricks-mint-after-installation-mint-13-cinnamon-edition.htm#Install-Extra-Fonts

So to make it available, you may only have to run fc-cache -f -v with root rights.
