How to Install Microsoft Fonts in Linux

Using Linux on a daily basis you'll often find yourself missing some of the standard things you'd find in a Windows OS. For many, this may not be a big deal especially when the missing things are just fonts. But for some of us, they are part of our daily routine.
Students for example are required to use certain standards. Hell, I've had professors who wouldn't accept a paper if not written in Times New Roman.

The good news is that these fonts are just a command line away. There are graphical ways to do this but they may not work in every case. This command line though will get you the fonts you need in most cases of Ubuntu based distros.

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Now this process takes a while to complete. Just be patient while the terminal gets the files and installs them. In the end you will have fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial, Comic, etc.
