Fixing Microsoft Fonts

I needed to use fonts from documents from Microsoft office, as well as make available some other specialist fonts.

Essentially it's matter of copying the font files to an appropriate directory. I put them in:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/subfolder


After getting them there it's just a matter of reloading the font cache:

sudo fc-cache -fv


This link on another (far superior to this one) Ubuntu blog had all the info I needed.
