Debian Noob and MSCORE fonts
Hello I am new to PLAIN DEBIAN I am using LXDE and I am looking on how to install the mscorettf fonts. It was easy to install in LMDE and in Ubuntu but in plain debian I do not see any MSCORE-TTF package at all I think is the name of it. In Ubuntu and LMDE there is a meta package for the MS fonts. but not in plain debian? Thanks for the help, Christopher

Christopher, Give this package a shot, i think this is what your looking for. ttf-mscorefonts-installer Also look at using apt-cache or synaptic to search for packages in the Debian repos, it can save some time. -- /VR Aaron Taddei N5STS BM-2cUmBjvT8gs6y5PZRX3KFRCoRpTia9Ta2j Damn the torpedoes. - David Farragut On 04/20/14 20:55, c. marlow wrote: Hello I am new to PLAIN DEBIAN I am using LXDE and I am looking on how to install the mscorettf fonts.

Maybe you mean Debian as opposed to not Debian, but made from it, or using a same package management system. Generally it's helpful if you state which release of Debian you are using.
