Come installare i caratteri MS su Ubuntu?

L'ho fatto sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installere sembra che abbia successo. Ma perché non vedo nuovi caratteri? (ad es. quando devo selezionare il carattere nel mio profilo per il mio terminale)?

$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I caratteri sono stati sicuramente installati correttamente, dice il registro.

Il tuo problema, tuttavia, probabilmente risiede meno nel fatto che i caratteri non sono nell'elenco, ma nel fatto che stai cercando di usare caratteri sbagliati. Il gestore del profilo del terminale della GUI consente di selezionare solo caratteri a larghezza fissa o monospace per impostazione predefinita. Ciò significa che un carattere con il quale è possibile vedere (se lo si desidera definitivamente sul Terminale) è possibile msfontsaccedere a Ubuntu Courier New.

Dovrebbero comunque essere disponibili anche in LibreOffice.

Potrebbe esserci un modo per forzare la visualizzazione di un carattere non monospaziale nel Terminale modificando i file del profilo per puntare al carattere corretto, ma questo è scoraggiato poiché i caratteri monospaziali sono destinati a rendere la formattazione del solo testo (fe disegni ASCII, carattere tabelle basate su)) possibile.

In LibreOffice Writer, accedi a Strumenti -> Opzioni -> Caratteri Metti un segno di spunta nel campo Applica tabella di sostituzione. Sostituisci alcuni caratteri che non vuoi con quelli che fai. Writer sembra rendere disponibili tutti i nuovi caratteri in quel momento.
