![]() ![]() One problem with this is that Ubuntu/Linux font files are usually in either /usr/share/fonts or /usr/local/share/fonts. This means (as well as enhanced security) that a snap package for Ubuntu should work without issue on any other flavour of Linux as well. I assume it’s for security reasons and also so the package is not dependent upon a particular system file. One of the purposes of the snap packaging format is to limit access to system files. But on Ubuntu 20.04 I hit a road block associated with the FreeCAD snap package. I’ve done this before on Ubuntu 18.04 with a traditionally installed FreeCAD package (See this post). To do this all I needed to do was use the ShapeString tool to get the letters from a font on my system. Then I decided I needed to make some Christmas lettering on my Trusty Creality Ender 3. I’d used the FreeCAD snap package for a couple of small test projects and all seemed well. But I ran into some Snap package font problems. I wanted to get the thing working rather than fuss over how it was installed. I’ve done this for no particular reason other than that is the way thing seem to be going and frankly I just went with the flow. #FREECAD FONTS INSTALL#I recently went over to using Ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04 and my new FreeCAD installation is now a snap package rather than an installation built using the traditional apt-get install route. ![]()
