Fresh install to an external drive of Ubuntu MATE last night and it is excellent. But I have one issue. Microsoft fonts will not install. I tried installing them from the ‘extras’ package and that did not work, neither would directly installing them via the terminal work. Here is the pop up window:
Failure to download extra data files
The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed.
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection.
I need those fonts and appreciate any help.
Thanks.
