I turned off my PC (Ubuntu 14.04) and when I turned it back on the fonts had changed (file names, folder names etc.). Why did this happen and how can I change the fonts again?

Now is this way:

  • @Tim Yes sure. I edited my post. – Adam Dec 02 '14 at 16:51

  • @Tim I have seen this post. My main concern is why the fonts were changed. Also it didn't help me as through the terminal I can't see how each font looks. – Adam Dec 04 '14 at 05:33
  • Why this happened is not really a question we can answer without forensics on your computer. If you would like a GUI version, have a look [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity) – Fabby Feb 25 '15 at 22:02

Maybe it's the font/UI scaling. There is a bug declared in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1317253

To change the default font there is a similar question Change default system font using terminal only in 14.04

Using "Unity Tweak Tool" you can customize your default font and themes,

Command to install this:

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool gnome-tweak-tool

You may be asked your system password, for installation.

To open Unity Tweak Tool, open the Dash and search for Unity, open the Unity - > Appearance section and select your customized themes and fonts. Check they work after a restart.

It's too late, but I think this answer can help someone

Just execute this code and restart your computer

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
