Hi folks

Many apologies if this is an old chestnut, but I couldn’t find the topic in the forum search.

Anyone know how to install Microsoft fonts. I usually manage through the ‘Ubuntu Restricted Extras’ command, but on this occasion it hasn’t worked.

Any other ideas/solutions would be most welcome.

Regards  
Nick

Thanks, fossfreedom.

Not very technical, but I inputted the following in the terminal;

```
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

```

Accepted the EULA, et voila!

Cheers,  
Nick
