Upgrades sure are annoying.

I've migrated to my Ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit) machine. I'm diving into a 
real project this morning. The first thing I need to do is to set a 
header to a Word doc with the name of the file rendered in Arial 9pt 
bold italic. I've been doing this for months. I copy the file name, past 
it into the header of the Word doc (using LibreOffice Writer, of 
course), select what I just pasted, right click on it and pick Arial 
from the list of available fonts. This worked fine in LibreOffice Writer 
on Ubuntu 10.04. But Arial is not on the list. I checked to be sure that 
msttcorefonts is installed. And, actually, Arial is present already in 
the template Word doc file. I can type Arial into the font selection box 
in the LibreOffice Writer tool bar, and it changes the font of the 
selection to Arial.

So, why isn't Arial listed as a font option? Times New Roman isn't 
there, either, although it's present in the template file.

<rant on>
Aren't all these "improvements" wonderful?
