Re: true type fonts won't work...

I had tried to install them manually and had random troubles.  Then I
found the easiest way to make those work is to add this line to your
/etc/apt/sources.list file to get non-US and non-free.

  deb http://misery.proulx.com:9999/non-US unstable/non-US non-free

Then install 'msttcorefonts'.

  apt-get install msttcorefonts

Of course Micro$oft's licensing won't allow repacking of their fonts.
But this package installs a helper installer which will do the
download of them direct from Microsoft, or other cached location, and
install them.
