Re: [libreoffice-users] Microsoft Core Fonts

You are using Ubuntu 12.04 plus Unity?

It should be in the software center under administration or something 
like that.  I use Ubuntu 12.04 with MATE as my desktop environment 
instead of GNOME 3 or Unity.

Any package manager should give you the installer file.

Even typing in "mscore" or "ms core" in the Software Center should give 
you the package you need to install.

I just checked just that with my 12.04 system and it worked fine, once I 
typed the search correctly in Ubuntu's Software Center.

I have well over 14 GB of fonts in my collection.  I still need to sort 
out the "unsorted" folders and get rid of all the duplicates that still 
many be lurking there.  So I could have over 200,000 or more.  The real 
thing is that 50% of the fonts are within 90% similar to each other.  
Some are 99.9% the same as other, but it takes a side-by-side look at 
them at 70 point or larger to tell the difference.  I once made a study 
of fonts for a project at a college where I got my last computer degree 
from.

Now I deal with the creation of the North American Community DVD and the 
largest English spell checking dictionary[s] that LO has to offer its users.
