Panel, Menu and Notification Fonts Boxed Out, Not Readable

Post by BlueAlchemy »

Please Help. Let me know what debug readouts you need. I recently installed my fonts from backup by Copy and Pasting the files from the backup folder directly to /usr/local/share/fonts and /usr/share/fonts. I know I should have made a folder in /home/.fonts, but it's already done. How can I fix this? And I recently tried getting into a Cairo-dock Gnome session and the fonts display fine in that, except for the lock screen. So far I can only find this issue in Cinnamon.

Just a wild guess: the ownership and permissions of you C&P fonts will be different than root rw- r-- r--. If so, I'd fix that first.

That's an additional issue. I can move files to my system from my external hard drive and it automatically makes ownership root instead of user. How do I stop that?
