Thanks Mi. I tried that, but the specific font (That I have installed
recently) doesn't show up in the list. When I issue the command:
>> fc-list | grep -i "Hypatia"

An empty list is returned, whereas the same command works fine for
other fonts. Should I update the font cache? How?

Thanks,
Hooman
