Re: [libreoffice-users] Microsoft Core Fonts

Each version of Windows had a different set of "core" fonts.  I am a 
"font person" so I should know this.  I have over 100,000 of them in my 
collection.

Do you want to install the core fonts on  you Ubuntu system?  I run both 
10.04 and 12.04.

If you go to the Synaptic Package Manager and type in "ms core fonts", 
you get something like

"ttf-mscorefonts-installer"

That is what shows on my 10.04 system I use as my default one, which I 
am typing from here.

Install that and you get the "core" fonts that seem to be used by most 
of the Windows versions from XP to Win7.  Since I tend to have 200+ 
fonts installed on both my Windows and Ubuntu systems, I have lost track 
of the names of the current "core fonts".  There are references to them 
in lists, along with the core fonts for MacOSX, but you do not need to 
know those names and matching fonts between systems unless you do some 
font choosing in a web site's CSS theme.  I use to do that.

SO,
if you want to have your Ubuntu system include the "core" fonts that MS 
thinks you need, then install that "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package.  
It is all you may need as far as MS is concerned.  BUT, if you really 
need some decorative fonts of specialty ones, I may have most of the 
free ones that were available as of 2-3 years back.  I really have not 
looked for many new ones lately.
