If you have a dual boot system for Linux and Windows, you can easily install MS fonts from the Windows C drive. All you have to do is mount the Windows partition (C:/windows).

I assume that you have mounted the C:\ Windows partition in the / Windowsdrive directory in Linux.

Now, link the font location to the font folder on your Linux system, as follows:

Ln-s / Windowsdrive/Windows/Fonts / usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts

After linking the font file, regenerate the fontconfig cache using the command line:

Fc-cache

Alternatively, copy all Windows fonts to the / usr/share/fonts directory and install the fonts using the following command:

Mkdir / usr/share/fonts/WindowsFontscp / Windowsdrive/Windows/Fonts/* / usr/share/fonts/WindowsFontschmod 755 / usr/share/fonts/WindowsFonts/*

*, regenerate the fontconfig cache using the command line:

Fc-cache tests Windows fonts

Open LibreOffice or GIMP after installing MS fonts. Now, you will see the Microsoft coretype font.

That's it. I hope this guide will be useful. I warn you again that the use of MS fonts in other operating systems is prohibited. Please read the Microsoft license agreement before installing MS fonts.
