I am trying to get Microsoft Windows' Copperplate Gothic font on my Ubuntu subsystem using WSL. I followed the instructions in this link and the installation seemed to go fine. However, when I run fc-list | grep "Copperplate" I get no results. When I run fc-list | grep "New Roman" I also get no results.

How can I access my newly installed windows fonts on my Ubuntu subsystem via the command line?

It turns out that the installation did not go as well as I thought. Perhaps I did not accept the Terms during the first installation. I ran the following set of commands:

sudo apt remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo dpkg -P ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo fc-cache -f

Now fc-list | grep "New Roman" provides me with a variety of fonts based on Times New Roman, so I think it worked.

The dpkg command comes from another question, I'm not sure why it's necessary.
