Also, many of the websites that have been designed use the default Microdoft fonts. Although Ubuntu uses its own versions of the Microsoft fonts whilst viewing a webpage, it's nice to have these fonts to see how the website should properly look.
Fonts that are included in the msttcorefonts package are:
* 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
To install the Microsoft Fonts, you need to make sure that you have the Universe Repositories enabled. After you have done this, install the package using the following command:
sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
You will now have all the core True Type fonts that come with a default Windows installation.
If you want other True Type fonts to use on your Ubuntu, it is as simple as downloading the font you want, and placing it in the ~/.fonts directory.
To use the newly downloaded fonts, you can either log out, and back in again, or use the following command to regenerate the fonts cache:
sudo fc-cache -fv
