“Alternatively, if you prefer the terminal way, simply type the following command in your terminal.

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts”

Yes. You can access MS fonts from Open Office 3

Does this help import MS fonts into OpenOffice 3? I got pretty sick of trying to figure out how to run spadmin. Once I did get it to run, it just blinked and said no fonts available. Do I need to run something else to import fonts into OO3?

PS as you can figure out, I’m also a newbie at Linux. Thanks for your patience

Paul: Firefox tends to do that. Try disabling and enabling the smooth rendering and restarting firefox.

Damien: You can just go to System→Preferences→Appearance→Fonts and set it up there. That is easier

By: Damien Oh

In Ubuntu 8.04.1, the font rendering effect is not turned on by default. You have to use the following command to activate the effect.

sudo ln -sf /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/

You will have to log out and login again to see the effect.
Try this and let me know if it works.

Hello:

I used the “sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts” method to do this followed by the “Subpixel smoothing”. I restarted the computer and opened Firefox. I thought that the fonts looked quite a bit better. A little while later, there was an automatic update of Firefox and after the computer restarted again and I opened Firefox again, I thought the Fonts had gone back to the “old” ones again. Is this possible or am I just imagining things? I’m using Ubuntu 8.04.1 on a Dell Inspiron mini-laptop.

Thanks,

Paul

It needs to be “sudo dpkg –configure -a” actually. The messages will get fixed in next version of ubuntu

By: User

User — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 12:11:50 +0000

run ‘dpkg –configure -a’ from command line. This should fix it.
