Hi 
What's an inch?

Hi
There used to be a package called something like "ms core fonts" which had arial, times new roman, trebuchet, verdana and maybe a couple other things.Ā I must have got the name a bit wrong because i cna't find it in my package manager now.
I've copied across a few fonts from Ubuntu to Windows but i should really find a way of being more consistent one day to get all machines on both networks the same as each other.Ā Possibly 1 folder on the file-share and then just drag&drop

In Ubuntu 13.04, the package in the software center is called:
Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts

We do: it's ISO 216 - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216 . The only problem is that a tiny, tiny minority of countries don't respect it.

Microsoft used to offer the core fonts as a free download from their website. They no longer do, which makes me wonder if they have withdrawn any freedom in the licensing of them.
I should have clarified that to get the most from the Linux Libertine fonts, one must use the āGā version, i.e., Linux Libertine G. They work best with the typographic toolbar extension.
See, http://www.numbertext.org/linux/fontfeatures.pdf and http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/typo.

And here I thought that the word inch was another name for this symbol "
You know, because people write 1" rather than 1 inch
Indeed fonts are problem! But having decided how to go ahead with this issue, LO has thrown up some major issues, which I'll report to the list in another message.
Thanks.

Hi :)Ā
That helped me find it on Ubuntu 12.04 and gave the package name
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
so it'd be
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
on a debian (and probably quite a few others) command-line.Ā For Redhat just swap out apt-get with yum?Ā
