A small script for an easy installation of: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/aptos on Zorin OS.
Copy it into a file ending with .sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msaptosfonts
wget -O msaptosfonts.zip https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/6/0/860a94fa-7feb-44ef-ac79-c072d9113d69/Microsoft%20Aptos%20Fonts.zip
sudo unzip msaptosfonts.zip -d /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msaptosfonts
rm msaptosfonts.zip
Looks good, but it might be safer to download into /tmp instead of the home directory. Other than that, very handy solution.
OK, so let’s say this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msaptosfonts
wget -O /tmp/msaptosfonts.zip https://download.microsoft.com/download/8/6/0/860a94fa-7feb-44ef-ac79-c072d9113d69/Microsoft%20Aptos%20Fonts.zip
sudo unzip /tmp/msaptosfonts.zip -d /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msaptosfonts
rm /tmp/msaptosfonts.zip
Not a clear font for someone with low vision. One of my favourite fonts, just wish it would be heavier, Asenine font.
I first discovered this using Sabayon Linux, which is what they use for their logo.
The choice of this font is not mine, but Microsoft’s.
And according to the foundation that edits LibreOffice:
To improve interoperability with Microsoft 365, TDF recommends installing the Microsoft Aptos font from the specific download page.
Because it seems to be the latest trendy font at Microsoft
A shame they think that. Never had an issue with Arial in SoftMaker Office and Microsoft365 while working from home. The Document Foundation should be leading the way not kowtowing to MS whims. Just to explain, whilst working from home I used SoftMaker Office and saved documents in .docx format and emailing them to work and they displayed correctly in what work was using, Office 2019 and Microsoft365.
But documentfoundation.org is not softmaker.com/en.
And TDF with LibreOffice by pushing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument is already well engaged.
Because, for its part, Microsoft is doing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML.
I know it isn't!
Seems to be a bit of drifting off topic, here...
But documentfoundation.org is not softmaker.com/en.

Because, for its part, Microsoft is doing [Office Open XML - Wikipedia] (Office Open XML - Wikipedia).
Good point. TDF has always clearly backed ODF, while Microsoft continues to push OOXML.
