Hi :) A bundle of the mostly commonly used MS fonts are in a package called something like; *ttf-mscorefonts-installer* I think that is the specifically Ubuntu name, others in the Debian family might have a slightly different name. I'm not sure if Mint and otehrs revert to the Debian name or stay with the Ubuntu one. I'm fairly certain that all other families use the same name as each other but different from the Ubuntu name. I dunno why Ubuntu decided to be awkward and use a different name [shrugs] A helpful article for Ubuntu users from one bunch of people who are usually fairly dedicated to Microsoft stuff (so it might be nice to click and show-off that lots of people actually prefer Linux); http://www.pcworld.com/article/2877248/libreoffice-gets-a-streamlined-makeover-native-alternatives-for-major-microsoft-fonts.html However the LibreOffice devs have apparently recently dealt with the Calibri issue by developing new fonts; http://www.pcworld.com/article/2877248/libreoffice-gets-a-streamlined-makeover-native-alternatives-for-major-microsoft-fonts.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/2863497/how-to-install-microsoft-fonts-in-linux-office-suites.html This 'ancient' article might help non-Ubuntu people on older versions of Office (err, by Office i usually mean LibreOffice of course); http://lifehacker.com/272976/install-microsoft-fonts-in-linux Regards from Tom :) On 16 February 2015 at 12:22, Maurice <maurice@bcs.org.uk> wrote:
