Hi :)

I think the package used to be called something like

msftcorefonts

or something like that but i just checked in Ubuntu 10.04 and found

ttf-mscorefonts-installer

contains "Comic Sans" and the rest.  At the bottom of the package description 
was this note.

"NOTE: the package ttf-liberation contains free variants of the Times, Arial and 
Courier fonts. It's better to use those instead unless you specifically need one 
of the other fonts from this package."

I think it is the usual story of just using your package manager to sort out 
installing the fonts and then they should be available in all relevant programs.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] re fonts

Many thanks for getting back to me. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I also use Win 7 on 
my netbook and if all goes well on the Linux PC will add Libre office to the 
netbook as well.

Can you please advise me how to add MTSF fonts. I've always done this in the 
past using spadmin.exe but in Libreoffice spadmin no longer has the add fonts 
facility. I've searched the faqs, tried the help files and looked on facebook 
and spent hours trying register for the forum. All without success.

I am an author and all my work is done using Comic sans Ms and it has been so 
easy in the past to add my MTSF fonts. So far as I am concerned it's an 
essential requirement.

On another subject, something that has always bugged serious WP users like 
myself, hammering away for hours a day has been the inability to export personal 
dictionaries from Open Office when changing a PC or buying a new netbook. Any 
thoughts on that?

regards and best wishes in your venture,

What OS are you using?  Windows, Linux, Mac OSX?  It looks like Windows, but 
please state it.

MTSF fonts?  What fonts names are they?  Do you want to add those fonts for 
LibreO only
of your want to have them system wide?

Windows has/had a Font section in its "Control Panel".  I add fonts that way 
and I make sure
I check the "copy fonts" section so the font will be copied to the Fonts 
folder.

When I go from one computer to another, I copy my Fonts folder [TTF and OTF 
fonts only]
and save it on a thumb drive, or something.  Then I use the Font options on the 
new
computer to install all the fonts that I have on the thumb drive that are not 
on the new computer.
Currently I have 330 fonts in my Ubuntu 10.10.  Many are pre-installed by 
Ubuntu and things
can go weird if I delete them.  The rest are my standard fonts, including Comic 
Sans MS.
