Linux Mint ships with Google's Noto fonts - Mike - 12-07-2014

I recently read that the newest LM now ships with Google's Noto fonts. I looked into it and and I can see why. The aim of the fonts is to support all of the world's languages. Personally, I like the way they look too. Check 'em out if you want: www.google.com/get/noto.

And because I'm addicted to Thunar's custom actions, I made one for installing fonts.

Description: Move fonts to ~/.fonts
Command: mv %N ~/.fonts
File Pattern: *.ttf;*.otf;*.ttc

Side note: I noticed the default hinting in LL was full but I find "slight" better looking to my eyes. Also with RGB sub-pixel order.

I found an easy way to download and install Google webfonts for off-line use.
There is an application named TypeCatcher.

Code:
sudo apt-get install typecatcher

Google fonts are installed in
/home/user_name/.fonts/typecatcher/
This application can also uninstall them.
