Hi :) I found the name for Ubuntu 10.04, so the command would be: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
and installing Synaptic Package Manager would be: sudo apt-get install synaptic but i agree with Johnny that it sounds like Ubuntu 12.04 and i suspect he has checked the exactly right name already. Generally i find Synaptic useful for looking up things when i am not totally sure of the name of the thing. It searches in package descriptions as well as titles so you can be pretty vague with searches. Then it's easy to pick and choose (although probably ignore all the packages starting with "lib..." so just scroll through them fast). The command-line is easiest when giving advice to people because it's pretty much identical across all the different distros although some families-of-distros use alternatives to apt-get. I think those alternatives use similar tags and, of course, the package names tend to be the same, for example libreoffice is called the same thing in all afaik.

I assumed 12.04 since he also asked how to install Synaptic. I think (but I'm not 100% sure) that 12.04 is the first Ubuntu that doesn't come with Synaptic pre-installed. Some older versions of Ubuntu have a different name of that package, and I think a few fonts were missing as well.
