Public bug reported: The mscorefont issue continues unabated!
Every morning I am greeted with an autoupdater dialogue telling me that the ms core ttf fonts can't be installed. This morning I try using the CL and get this: ``` ~ $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
