Actually, I already have the liberation fonts installed. To be more detailed, the application that needs the fonts is Cadence Specman, which currently looks awful (compared to other machines I used). I'm not 100% sure, but it's claimed that MS fonts should solve the problem, so it's worth trying.
Regarding http://oimon.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/msttcorefonts-on-rhel6-centos-6-sl6/, well, I saw that link, and something is strange there. They take http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec and patch it. However, there is already http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.5-1.spec Therefore, I assumed that the previous post is outdated. That's the reason I wanted to hear some opinions, before trying a process that I don't fully understand... 2014-03-11 19:35 GMT+02:00 Akemi Yagi <amy...@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 10:21 AM, Pat Riehecky <riehe...@fnal.gov> wrote: > > On 03/11/2014 12:09 PM, צביקה הרמתי wrote: > > > > Hi. > > > > What's the best way to install MS TTF fonts? > > In Debian/Ubuntu, I just installed "ttf-mscorefonts-installer". > > Googling gave some peculiar answers; I wandered what's the common > practice. > > > > Thanks, > > Zvika > > > > > > I personally prefer the Liberation Fonts.
