This is a tutorial on how you can add custom fonts to you AWS EC2 instance.

EC2 instance does not include custom fonts like sans-serif, Poppins on its own therefore we need to add them seperately

Here are the steps for adding Poppins font to you EC2. Change the Link and folder names according to your desired font:

• Connect to you EC2 instance via SSH
• Copy the download link of the zip archive of the font of your choice
• Run wget https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Poppins to download the zip compressed font files.
• Run unzip download?family=Poppins where download?family=Poppins is the file name of the zip file downloaded.
• Run sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/poppins to make a folder for the font of your choice.
• Run sudo mv *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/poppins to move the extracted .ttf files to the folder you made earlier.
• Run fc-cache -r to add the newly added font to cache.

You are all set. Now you can use these fonts in your nodeJS, python or any server that is running on you EC2 instance.

You can use ls command to check the contents of the extracted folder or the file name of the downloaded file
