If you want more help Installing TrueType Fonts contact me.
comic sans? COMIC SANS??? my GOD you’ve gone insane!
btw, doesn’t msttcorefonts get installed with ubuntu-restricted-extras?
u shud specify which distro u are using. the commands works only on debian and debian based distros.. or ones which uses apt.
@SoE: What’s up with that COMIC SANS :S
You can Install with Ubuntu Restricted Area’s (I think). You can try manually by deleting the package.
Package is here (/var/cache/apt/archives)
You can redownload from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/msttcorefonts
@meekaaku: True this work on debian based destros.. I’ve tagged this post with “Ubuntu”. But this theme doesn’t show Tags!
