How to Install & Configure Microsoft TrueType Fonts for Linux

I personally think the way Linux renders fonts fine with LCD smooth settings on. When I first moved to Linux, I wanted the same feel and look of the anti-alias Microsoft fonts.

NOTE: Please read this page as a reference before continuing on. As it may help, some references might relate to Ubuntu Linux.

Lets get down and dirty in a few steps.

Download the Microsoft Font package.

You must do the following as root or use the 'sudo' command for Ubuntu Linux folks.

Make a 'truetype' directory in your /usr/fonts/ directory.

sudo mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype

We need to unpack the font files:

sudo tar -zxvf msfonts.tar.gz -C /usr/share/fonts/truetype

Next download the font config files for the Microsoft fonts.

Once again we need to unpack it

sudo tar xvjpf fontconfig.tbz -C /etc/fonts/

Run Font Cache

sudo fc-cache

Log out and log back in. See the changes :)
