Re: [libreoffice-users] re fonts

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 :)

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.
