Is there any way to delete this one?
I was trying to install MS fonts manually (no, MSTTcorefonts is not enough).
I created /usr/share/fonts/MS, and copied the ttfs from my ipod. (which came from a win partition).
sudo cp /media/IPOD/TECZKA/MS\ Fonts/* .

That sounds quite cool, especially
/usr/share/fonts/MS: caching, new cache contents: 79 fonts, 0 dirs
which seems to indicate that the fonts in the directory I created were found and cached.
However, when I open FF, it fails to render any windows font, making much of the websites garbage.
Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?
