i never found them in 10o4; i imported my truetype (i like bitstream) from 8o4
mmttcorefonts are in the "multiverse" repos
Just add the multiverse software sources to your install then in terminal:
If not DL them from here:Code:sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+...tcorefonts/3.2
There are also endless free font sites on the internet - Google - where you can find your favorites anytime.
Remember that if you manually install fonts in your .fonts folder, perform this action in terminal:
Code:fc-cache -fv
If at first you don't succeed - just buy the company and tell them to make the one you want.
but why do they show up in software center, just without any download button?
good question - I have no answer but for what it is worth, on Kubuntu....
On a 64 bit install I added ttf-mscorefonts-installer and got the ms fonts installed with not hassel
On a 32 bit install I did the same and the installer installed but did not install the fonts
I have no idea why - I tried removing the installer and reinstalling it but still no fonts
then I purged the installer
sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer --purge
reinstalled it
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
and none of the fonts got installed - checksum error
sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
got the same error with all the fonts again
