Hi :) Ok, in Ubuntu 10.04 it's probably easiest to use the Synaptic Package Manager System - Administration - Synaptic because it allows you to get specific components of programs and things. The command-line might not be immediately obvious and the Software Centre is more about entire programs rather than add-ons and stuff.
Use either search-tool to find ttf-mscorefonts-installer or the slightly older name msttcorefonts Installing either of those gives you about 6 of the basic MS fonts. You have to agree to their EULA this way and the fonts are just the basic MS ones; Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana, Comic Sans errr & i think webdings(?!). I think Webmaster at Kracked Press has a huge variety of each of those on copy-left agreements (OpenSource, Free ones) and could help you put them in the right place. One of the advantages with the packages i mention is that they look exactly the same and have exactly the same names in Windows, also the one package does all the work for you to get all 6 sorted fairly neatly. Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: dave boland <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Fri, 3 June, 2011 2:22:57 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] More fonts On Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:13 +0100, "Tom Davies" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi :) > Which Operating System are you using; a Windows, Ubuntu, other linux, Mac > or a > Bsd? > Tom, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on 386 platform.
