Oops. Sorry I clicked plain text from gmail.com but now that im back in Evolution I can set it to plain text. I only sent from gmail.com because I had just gotten into DEB, and hadn't had everything set up yet. Plain Debian as in I got it from Debian.org its not a branch off as in Ubuntu etc. Sorry for the confusion. I did the command you said and I got this in reply I also noticed sudo apt-get works too as it did in the *buntus christopher@COMPAQ:~$ sudo aptitude install ttf-mscorefonts-installer [sudo] password for christopher: No candidate version found for ttf-mscorefonts-installer No candidate version found for ttf-mscorefonts-installer No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 27 not upgraded.
