Nope. Look it up. You can start here:

Actually you got:

ttf-mscorefonts-installer

This package allows for easy installation of the Microsoft True Type
Core Fonts for the Web including:

  Andale Mono
  Arial Black
  Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Comic Sans MS (Bold)
  Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Impact
  Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
  Webdings

But this has gone OT for OOo, so I'll leave it to you as to whether you
want to continue to use the font you download or not. Bye.
