Hi,

You will need to copy the font’s file ( “Bitwise.ttf” is the font file used in this link) to two directories.

If the locations do not already exist please go ahead and create them.

Here , replace “<username>” with your ubuntu username

1. / home / <username> / .local / share / fonts /

2. / home / <username> / .fonts /

After copying the font file (“Bitwise.ttf”) to the above to locations, open Matlab.

Under the “HOME” tab, in the “ENVIRONMENT” subsection , click on “Preferences” which has a gear (“⚙”) icon.

Now under “MATLAB” drop down click on “Fonts” .

Under the section “Desktop Code Font” you can click on the Drop-down menu and select “Bitwise”.

Then under the “Desktop Text Font” deselect the checkbox “Use System Font” and click on the drop down menu and select “Bitwise”.

You can also adjust the font size in the text box to the right.

I downloaded ttf file from

http://www.911fonts.com/font-download/download_BookAntiquaRegular_566.htm

I renamed the ttf file to BookAntiqua.ttf. Then I copied the file to the directories you mentioned above.

Then I ran fc-list |grep "Book" and find the ttf file.

But I cannot find the BookAntiqua in the "Desktop Code Font." Please advise.

Will appreciate update.

Hi,

Could you please restart your system after placing the font file in the 2 directories mentioned above and then checking if the font is visible in MATLAB.

I had just cross checked with the "BookAntiqua.tff" font and was successfully able to change the font.
