How do I reinstall default fonts?

Question

i have deleted the default fonts in Ubuntu Desktop 10.10. IE, arial, verdana, etc. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

Solution 1

What you need is the msttcorefonts package.

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Solution 2

Looks like I was able to answer my own question with a bit of guided research. You need the package: msttcorefonts

Or command line instructions:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
sudo fc-cache -fv
