I am trying to install SF-Mono-Powerline to change fonts for my terminal for the use of zsh. But however the installation of the fonts is succesful (checked it), but I am not able to choose the fonts in my terminal settings. Still only the default fonts are shown.
I downloaded the zip from the following website: https://github.com/Twixes/SF-Mono-Powerline/tree/master
Unziped it and copied all *.otf files to /usr/share/fonts/opentype and ~/.local/share/fonts (.otf) as well as in /usr/local/share/fonts (as .ttf)
Afterwards I entered fc-cache -f -v to update the fonts.
I checked the integrity by entering fc-list | grep SF-Mono-Powerline. The output:
/usr/share/fonts/opentype/SF-Mono-Powerline/SF-Mono-Powerline-HeavyItalic.otf: SF Mono Powerline:style=Heavy Italic
/usr/local/share/fonts/SF-Mono-Powerline-SemiboldItalic.ttf: SF Mono Powerline:style=Semibold Italic

/usr/share/fonts/opentype/SF-Mono-Powerline/SF-Mono-Powerline-SemiboldItalic.otf: SF Mono Powerline:style=Semibold Italic
/usr/local/share/fonts/SF-Mono-Powerline-Bold.ttf: SF Mono Powerline:style=Bold
So the fonts are correctly installed. But when I enter my terminal -> properties -> Profile to change fonts, only the default fonts are shown. SF-Mono-Powerline is completly missing.
Any suggestions? Thx for your help :)
Update: I am able to set the desired font by entering the following command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'SF Mono Powerline normal 10'
To make the command universal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'fontname fontsize'
But still the fonts aren't shown in the properties for the terminal text.
