    Have msttcorefonts been removed form repositories?

    Using the Synaptic Package Manager I note that msttcorefonts are no longer available. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Can anybody confirm this?

    Thanks

    It's been renamed to ttf-mscorefonts-installer, which is indeed installed by ubuntu-restricted-extras.
