If I don't have any custom fonts to install, but I would like to install the free Microsoft core fonts and increase compatibility in OpenOffice, can I just type the "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts" command in a terminal? Or are all the steps listed above it required too?

Thanks Red, very useful!<BR/>myfonts.com is another good site. Apart from the fonts you have to pay for there are loads of fonts available for free. I've just downloaded Museo300 as a .zip and even though I ticked 'Cannot use OTF', it actually has an .otf extension. I tried your guide anyway and it worked. Inkscape and Scribus can see the font too. Happy days!<BR/>BTW, any idea how to install
