Install Good Fonts in Fedora

I am against using unlicensed fonts. Please check the eligibility of each font that you want to use, especially for commercial purposes.

Google Fonts

Google share its fonts with us as they have a desire to make an open web.

Google recommends to install its font using fnt which sadly not available in Fedora. Instead, we can go to sid.ethz.ch/fonts/ site to download the fonts we desire.

It would download one family at a time. But, hey, a streamlined design use 2 fonts only, one for titles and headings and one for paragraph contents.

Just download the RPM version. I think every desktop has its own RPM installer. We only need to click on the downloaded RPM to install.

Microsoft Fonts

There was a time when Microsoft desired an interopability web fonts. They shared some of their fonts to the world. I don't know what is the status of current license, but it is available for us to install at mscorefonts2 project. AFAIK, as long we don't distribute the fonts, it should be fine.

Here we go:

sudo dnf install -y https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm

Newer fonts is not for distribution nor use in non-Microsoft system. We can use the substitution for each font that our counter part usually makes. 

Cambria

Use Caladea from sid.ethz.ch/fonts/?caladea

Calibri

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
