Quorten Blog 1

First blog for all Quorten's blog-like writings

Suppose you create a graphics design on a Debian or Ubuntu based operating system and point the fonts used to generic names like sans-serif. How do you know which corresponding system font was used? Easy, run this command:

fc-match -s sans-serif

And pick the first “branded” font name from the list. It should match the metrics of the font you used in your graphic design. Better yet, prefer to point your graphics design sources only to branded fonts so that it is easier to reproduce the original from the sources in the future. And, of course, always use only libre fonts or fonts of your own design.
