Installing MS TrueType fonts

Note: This tipp is related to Debian and all Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Kubuntu etc.).

As I wanted to create a document for the school in the spring of this year there was a problem for me. In the demands was written that we have to use the font \'Times New Roman\' which was installed unfortunately not by default on my Ubuntu system what didn\'t surprise me very much because this font is by Microsoft.

I\'ve found a solution that I want to share with you.
It exists a package with the name msttcorefonts. This package contains the following fonts:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
- Andale Mono
- Arial Black
- Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Comic Sans MS (Bold)
- Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Impact
- Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Webdings

If you want to install these you have to execute the following command:
apt-get install msttcorefonts cabextract

If you did this you should be able to use the Fonts in programs such as OpenOffice.org.
