ebook font on Linux

I read HTML ebooks in Firefox on Linux. The Firefox default serif font is legible but not stylish. I wanted to try Caslon, a font favored by Ben Franklin. Here are the steps I took.

Run xterm and type the following commands.

mkdir ~/.fonts
cd ~/.fonts
wget http://www.orbitals.com/programs/wyld.zip
unzip -LL wyld.zip *.ttf
rm wyld.zip
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
xset fp+ ~/.fonts
xset fp rehash
exit


Right click Use Caslon Font and click Bookmark This Link.

View an HTML ebook, such as The Story of My Boyhood and Youth by John Muir.

Click Bookmarks and click Use Caslon Font.
