LibreOffice really needs to bundle the fonts from the t1-cyrillic debian
package with it.  Yes, the Liberation font family has the U.N. behind
it, but the "free" font family found in the t1 package, especially Free
Times, is some of the easiest reading and best looking free fonts out
there.  I've published several books using Free Times.

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.

Tom :)
