Installing Microsoft Fonts on Ubuntu

You may need Microsoft fonts in order to properly view web pages in your browser or use them in your Office package. In order to do that, open up the terminal and write the following command

$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

After completing the installation, log out then log back in.

If you don't want to log out and want to start using the fonts immediately, type the following command.

$sudo fc-cache -fv
