Just in case, if you need to use Microsoft fonts on Ubuntu desktop, follow the steps below to install them.

After installing the font, we need to update the font cache using the command line:

  1. $ sudo fc -cache -f -v

Sample output:

Install MS fonts on Linux and Windows dual boot machines

If you have a dual boot system of Linux and Windows, you can easily install MS Fonts from the Windows C drive. All you have to do is mount the Windows partition (C:/windows).

I assume you have mounted the C:Windows partition in the /Windowsdrive directory in Linux.

Now, link the font location to your Linux system's font folder as follows:

  1. ln -s /Windowsdrive/Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts

After linking the font files, use the command line to regenerate the fontconfig cache:

  1. fc-cache

Alternatively, copy all Windows fonts to the /usr/share/fonts directory and install the fonts with:

  1. mkdir /usr /share/fonts/WindowsFonts
  2. cp /Windowsdrive /Windows/Fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts
  3. chmod 755 /usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts/*

Finally, regenerate the fontconfig cache using the command line:

  1. fc-cache

Test Windows fonts

Open LibreOffice or GIMP after installing MS fonts. You will now see the Microsoft coretype fonts.

That's it, I hope this guide was useful. I warn you again that using MS fonts in other operating systems is forbidden. Please read the Microsoft License Agreement before installing MS Fonts.
