Como instalar fontes MS no Ubuntu?

Eu fiz sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installere parece que é com sucesso. Mas por que não estou vendo novas fontes? (por exemplo, quando eu selecionei a fonte no meu perfil para o meu terminal)?

$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

As fontes foram definitivamente instaladas corretamente, diz o log.

Seu problema, no entanto, provavelmente está menos no fato de que as fontes não estão na lista, mas no fato de que você está tentando usar as fontes erradas. O gerenciador de perfil de terminal da GUI permite apenas escolher fontes de largura fixa ou monoespaçadas por padrão. Isso significa que uma fonte com a qual você pode ver (se você definitivamente quiser no Terminal) se msfontsé acessível ou não no Ubuntu seria o Courier New.

Eles também devem estar disponíveis no LibreOffice.

Pode haver uma maneira de forçar uma fonte não monoespaçada a ser exibida no Terminal, alterando os arquivos de perfil para apontar para a fonte correta, mas isso é desencorajado, pois as fontes monoespaçadas se destinam a formatar somente texto (por desenhos ASCII, caracteres possíveis).

No LibreOffice Writer, acesse Ferramentas -> Opções -> Fontes Marque o campo Aplicar tabela de substituição. Substitua uma fonte que você não deseja pela que você deseja. O Writer parece disponibilizar todas as novas fontes naquele momento.
