Adding Extra Fonts

The fonts that come with X are quite limited. You may want to install the msttcorefonts package to provide Microsoft TrueType core fonts for use in X.

To install them, run apt-get install msttcorefonts at the command line as root. If you get an error E: Couldn't find package msttcorefonts you may need to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the contrib section in your source entry.
