ttf-mscorefonts-installer download

ttf-mscorefonts-installer is a Debian package that simplifies the installation of Microsoft TrueType Core Fonts on Debian-based systems. It provides an automated way to download and install widely used web fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman, and Verdana that are not shipped directly with Debian due to licensing restrictions. The package fetches the official font files from Microsoft over the internet and installs them in a system-compatible format. It is commonly used to ensure document and web layout compatibility across platforms, especially when sharing files with Windows users. While free alternatives exist, this installer remains useful when exact font rendering is required. The package is lightweight, shell-based, and designed to integrate cleanly with Debian’s package management system.
