Public bug reported: As noted in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1371783/comments/45, the current 3.4 version of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the font files in an incorrect network location. The consequence of this is that the core fonts are never installed.
The Debian (upstream) version 3.6 of ttf-mscorefonts-installer searches for the font files in the correct network location, and will successfully install the core fonts. This problem occurs with Ubuntu 16.04 as of July 2016. (And with earlier versions, including current LTS.) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607535 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts and should be updated to version 3.6 from Debian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1607535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
