Consolas not visible in IntelliJ Idea on Ubuntu 12.04

  • 772

Tried installing Consolas on Ubuntu 12.04 as suggested here but the font is not visible in the settings of IntelliJ Idea CE IDE.

[Edit 1]

I also copied the font to /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_30/jre/lib/fonts and did sudo fc-cache. Now the font is visible in Gedit but is still not visible in IntelliJ Idea and it not visible in Libre Office3.

Appreciate help.

    Consolas font is not just one file, you need to copy all 4 font files into JDK_HOME/jre/lib/fonts:

    • consolaz.ttf
    • consolai.ttf
    • consolab.ttf
    • consola.ttf

    Then the font works just fine:

    Consolas works!
