“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

Remove the file with this command:

sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-autohint.conf
