We already have Ubuntu font for some time, and to be honest i really like it. But i do not like its rendering in openSUSE system with KDE, so i haven’t used it that much. I did not see any native font for KDE which can be used by default by the operating system. But now we have KDE font called Oxygen font, it’s still in early stages at the time of writing this post. I am using it for last few days and i can say that it is clean and clear font i used ever.

It can be download from KDE projects site and also can be cloned from the repository if any one want that.

In openSUSE KDE, it’s easy to install it via Font Installer from Personal Settings either system wide or per user only.

If you want to install it in Ubuntu, here are the easy steps. Open terminal and type(will install it system wide):

gksudo nautilus

Now go to this directory, /usr/share/fonts/truetype and create a folder named ‘oxygen‘ without quotes, and paste fonts here from the downloaded directory. Close this window and now type in terminal:

sudo fc-cache -vf

I haven’t tested it in Ubuntu, try it and share your experience with others.
