Re: [libreoffice-users] More fonts

Hi :)
Ok, in Ubuntu 10.04 it's probably easiest to use the Synaptic Package Manager
System - Administration - Synaptic
because it allows you to get specific components of programs and things.  The 
command-line might not be immediately obvious and the Software Centre is more 
about entire programs rather than add-ons and stuff.

Use either search-tool to find 
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
or the slightly older name
msttcorefonts

Installing either of those gives you about 6 of the basic MS fonts.  You have to 
agree to their EULA this way and the fonts are just the basic MS ones; Arial, 
Times New Roman, Verdana, Comic Sans errr & i think webdings(?!).  


I think Webmaster at Kracked Press has a huge variety of each of those on 
copy-left agreements (OpenSource, Free ones) and could help you put them in the 
right place.  One of the advantages with the packages i mention is that they 
look exactly the same and have exactly the same names in Windows, also the one 
package does all the work for you to get all 6 sorted fairly neatly.

Regards from
Tom :)
