Installing Microsoft Fonts September 9, 2005
Posted by Carthik in ubuntu.trackback
Even if you use OpenOffice, you might still want all the Microsoft TrueType fonts so that documents created using Word or PowerPoint look as they were supposed to when you open them with OpenOffice. Also, with the Microsoft Fonts installed we browsing will be better since the pages will look as the designer originally intended them to. Most webpages are designed with Microsoft fonts in mind. The stylesheet specify these fonts. On Linux, when these specified fonts are not available on your computer, they are replaced with generic equivalents. With these fonts installed, you will see the page as it was designed. To install the fonts, all you need to do in Ubuntu is to install the msttcorefonts package. Instructions for installation are given below.
The Truetype Microsoft fonts provided by the package include:
- 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
Installing Microsoft Truetype fonts on Ubuntu
You can install the MS core fonts by installing the msttcorefonts package. To do this, enable the “Universe” component of the repositories. This is done by default in Feisty. After you do that, use the following command from the command line:
$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
This will give you the core fonts, but if there are other TrueType fonts that you want installed, it is as easy as copying the font files to the ~/.fonts/ directory.
After installing new fonts, you will have to log out and log in again to be able to see and use the new fonts. If you want to avoid this, you can regenerate the fonts cache by issuing the following command:
$sudo fc-cache -fv
Ubuntu Blog 
you come up with some great pratical stuff –
msttcorefonts has an amusing history; Microsoft licensed the fonts for anyone to freely use (regardless of OS) to help boost the market share of IE. When they won the first browser wars, they removed the files from their site… but the license says you can freely redistribute them so that’s how we can legally use them 🙂
BTW, I filed a bug on launchpad because Tahoma isn’t included in the Debian/Ubuntu versions of msttcorefonts: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/50529
See also http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ 🙂
i love tahoma 😦
me too

Googled for “how to install web core fonts ubuntu” and your blog was second in the results list. Very useful information. Now my Eclipse PHP code fonts look MUCH nicer.
Thank you!
Thanks very much for the tip on installing the MS fonts. This will help make things more home-like in Ubuntu.
[…] Ecco il link con la procedura. […]
Awesome. That was so leet. I Googled for “how to install truetype fonts ubuntu” and got this. This works, simple, and was easy to understand.
Good job making it into my RSS feeds list 🙂
“$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts” does not work on Ubuntu 6.06. I get an error :
Package msttcorefonts has no installation candidate
Add universe and multiverse repositories,
” All done, no errors.
All fonts downloaded and installed.”
even after this, the fonts looked better in Windows, is there an equivalent of ClearType for Linux? Or do fonts just look worse in Linux, period.
what script does this run if i want to install it? mine can’t download the files from sourceforge so i downloaded them manually and now I don’t know where to put them so they’re available to everyone!
Lilandra,
Try the third method in http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/12/adding-windows-fonts-in-linux.html please.
I would suggest trying to install msttcorefonts again. Youc an do this by
$sudo apt-get install –reinstall msttcorefonts
Sourceforge might just have had a temporary glitch or something.
thanks!
Andrew Swihart: Yes, you can make fonts look nice. You need to enable what they call “sub-pixel antialiasing” (like ClearType).
If you are using a GNOME-based distribution like Ubuntu, you can find the preference in your “System” menu under “Preferences”/”Fonts”.
The fonts you copy from windows are located in:
C:/WINDOWS/FONTS on Windows 95 or Windows 98 systems.
C:/WINNT/FONTS on Windows NT, 2000, XP systems.
Just drag ’em into this directory: /home/my_name/.fonts
everything looks bigger in ubuntu, as if the font dpi has been increased, but its at 96, just like Windows, so why is everything still bigger?
I just can’t see as much at 1280×1024 as I can on Windows
I’m getting this error when I try to download msttcorefonts package from Ubuntu’s Package website. (I’m newb to Linux)
“Error: Dependency is not satisfiable:cabextract”
Can someone help me?
Nevermind, following these instructions worked for me and should help poster #8, found the solution on ubuntuforums
Use Synaptic Package Manager, look under the Settings Menu and choose Repositories.
Then click on Add and select the Multiverse Repositories. It will take a little bit to load the new repositories.
msttfcorefonts will now be there.
Mark it for Installation and choose Apply.
Nice article. Worked well for me. Thanks
very nice.
i had trouble with my wined mathtype, now it all works
thanks! =]

Edwardian Script ITC is a nice-looking font and I installed it from a free source some weeks ago. However, even though it appears to be installed, when I try to use it I get Times New Roman instead. My operating system is Windows XP. Can anyone give me some help, please?
if u have windows as other OS this is easy method

Hey, thanks Boo-K00 !! Your post #15 is the easiest way to get MS-Fonts on Ubuntu-Linux. I’m using both AbiWord & OpenOffice and it WORKS like a CHARM !!! Nevermind all the other intensive posts…
Thanks for the tip! The relevance of your post just proves Google’s accuracy again!
I had to activate the Multiverse repositories (comment 18) and then:
>apt-get update
>apt-get install msttcorefonts
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
Thanks for the tip. This post saved my day.
For ubuntu users: since adding the universe and multiverse didn’t work for me either, i.e. apt-get install msttcorefonts still gave the same error, I copied the MS true type fonts directory (I got it from another system) to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ (set owner root.root and permissions 644 for this directory and files).
P.S. If you are wondering where to find the fonts, get them from Windows!
According to message 15 above by boo-k00, after telling you where to look for your font files in Windows, she then says “Just drag ‘em into this directory: /home/my_name/.fonts” Well…when I look in my /home/grant/ directory, there is no “.fonts” directory, not even when I do a Ctrl+H to show the hidden files! Can anyone assist me with this?
I have a large number of fonts I want to move from Windows.
Grant: try
cd ~
mkdir .fonts

Ok, thank you mister, just what I was looking for.
Great tip, thanks!
Hei, it’s nice to know you. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks HEAPS.
That was the (almost) last piece to my puzzle!
For interest, I was trying to get fonts onto a webserver so that I could run fancy image-generating functions ( SVG conversions via LibrSVG ) and needed the fonts available.
On a hosted environment, of course, it was tricky to get an admin to install arbitrary fonts, but instead I was able to get my webserver process to do it for me!
Using a small run-once bit of php:
“mkdir ~/.fonts”,
“cp $dir/*.ttf ~/.fonts/”,
“fc-cache -fv ~/.fonts/”,
My http daemon (www-data) can now use my new fonts! Really cool.
The gotcha was that the Apache process had to be stopped and started for the change to take effect. NOT restarted. Stopped. And Started.
… Just a bit of feedback in case any of the other lucky folk finding this HOWTO are thinking of something similar.
PS. I’m non-affiliated, but I found thousands of easily browsable (free) fonts at http://www.creamundo.com/ FYI.
This is a great little “how to”, I’ll certainly be coming back to your blog if I need help with anything else
This is what I was looking for. really, great work. thanks alot

I have found the font installer does not work. On Feisty and gutsy is fails at the download of andale.exe. It attempts to download then times out and moves to the next source and ends up going through all the sources and does not download then ends with an error message. On trying to remove the package it fails as well doing exactly what it did when it was trying to install the fonts.
So now I have a package I can;t remove, fix or use at all. Every tine I installa new package it goes through trying to install the fonts and fails.
Chris – I have been having the same problem as you. I havent found a way to fix it either.
Chris, Angel

Hi,
I’ve just installed fonts but i don’t see major differences when i select Times New Roman in firefox. They simply don’t look as good as they look in Windows. Is there an option to turn on true type / clear type?
Thanks.
Times New Roman in firefox looking bad, why?
Still having the same problems as #61 and #62.
the sourceforge.net just fails and times out.
Tried it with feisty, mint, and gutsy with the same results. There has to be a way to erase the config info so it does not keep trying to install the msttcorefonts every time you want to install something.

it was great i just converted to linux to see if it was worth trying and its hard to convert from windows XP/vista into something so different.

I have been trying to get NeoSans.otf font installed within OpenOffice 2.4 but OpenOffice is not picking up the fonts after I have installed them.
I put my new fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/NeoSans
and also in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/myfonts/Neosans
and ran this command in the shell: fc-cache -fv
The system updated the font cache and I can use the NeoSans font on a system wide basis, however OpenOffice 2.4 does not show the fonts in the character list.
Can anyone help please?

Great Job! Thank you! cnn.com looks a lot better on my firefox/ubuntu now.
i already did what you suggest to install microsoft font. actually I use ubuntu intrepid ibex and try to install with command “apt-get install msttcorefonts” The error was displayed to me like ” couldn’t find the package”. May be every one can help me with this error. thank’s…
I get this error –
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (13 Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
you got this error because you might have the update package running. Before UBUNTU could install anything it needs to have those files locked. If you are not running any other sudo apt-get command it should not throw any error.

Fonty Python
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/fontypython
FontyPython is a GUI tool to manage ttf fonts on GNU/Linux system. It is written in Python and WxWidgets.
You can collect any fonts together (even ones not in your system font folders) into ‘pogs’ and then install and remove the pogs as you need them. In this way you can control what fonts are in your user font folder – thus avoiding long lists of fonts in the font chooser dialogues of your application.
License: Open Source
Price: Free
Oops, Forgot to mention Fonty Python it is in Ubuntu Software Center, I am not certain if you need to add the universe repository or any others or not to get it. But I found it in the software center and installed it, though, I have not used it yet… good luck.
