I dont know why all people are always using Times New Roman in publications and standard documents. Even though lot of alternate standard fonts are available [ Nimbus New Roman , Sans , Serif], only Times New Roman is in the first place. I think this is the domination or popularity of Microsoft windows. Ok you dont bother about how to use Microsoft core fonts in linux. we have all options in linux , only thing is that we need to find it. For installing Mscorefonts simply search in Ubuntu synaptic package manager with “microsoft core fonts” , you can find one package “ttf-mscorefonts-installer” , just mark this package and install it.
This package allows for easy installation of the Microsoft True Type Core Fonts for the Web including:
