Inpossibility to install MS core fonts
 

I try to install M$ core fonts on Mageia 5.1. So I download RPM:

And than try to install it, without success:

So I try to install xorg-x11-font-utils package, without success too:

What I am doing wrong?
Anyway I have squares instead some letters and spaces in Arial, Times New Roman and other typical fonts.

Any help?

RPM has options to override paranoid behaviour. Things like --nodeps & --force, but you probably need something from the packages it's bellyaching about.

In my opinion, you would be better off foregoing the package and downloading the fonts manually. It’s what I did under Debian and Ubuntu (I’m not a Mageia user).

One big advantage of this method is that you can then download the fonts just once, and copy them over to any system on which you wish to use them. In addition, while you’re at it, you can also obtain updated and new fonts, which the package may not provide (at least, the Debian package didn’t, last time I looked).

To download the original core fonts, just run the following command:
(Actually, if you’re going to download the updated fonts anyway, then you may skip the arial32.exe, times32.exe, trebuc32.exe, and verdan32.exe downloads, since the EUupdate.EXE file—which will be downloaded next—provides newer versions of these fonts.)

Then, similarly, download the updated and new font files:
To continue, make sure that the cabextract utility is installed on your system, and run the following sequence of commands to extract the font files from the downloaded files (I’ll ignore the old versions of the updated fonts, since they would get overwritten anyway):
Next, as ‘root’, create the directory to which you will be copying the fonts, …
… and copy the fonts there:
Finally, update the font cache:
Transporting the fonts to another computer.

If you want to be able to easily set up the fonts on any other system, then you may want to pack them up into an archive:

Code:

---

tar -cvzPf msfonts.tar.gz '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/mstt'

---

Then, whenever you want to set up the fonts on another computer, just run the following command as ‘root’ to unpack the archive, …

Code:

---

tar -xvzPf msfonts.tar.gz

---

… and update the font cache again.

Sill I have "squares" in place of spaces and national characters. Strange is that for example "squares" are present in for example Times New Roman but no in Times New Roman Bold or italic.

Perhaps you have an old copy of the Times New Roman font lying around somewhere on your system?
As a first quick check, you may want to search for any Times font files, and see what gives:
What does that command tell you?

Really. Its strange.

And now from the system we are talking about:

Advice please, what I have to do?

Personally I find that installing the fonts is only half of the battle.

Getting them recognised is the second half. Have you battled with fontconfig and the various apps you wanted to use those fonts?

On both PC`s I use the same apps. Libre Office, browser, etc. But mainly I use console for C language compiling (not graphical programs but automation) and Bash scripting. So I am not expert in font issues, thats I need help. Maybe it is necessary to remove something?

have you restarted the x session after installing the new fonts?
did you run 'fc-cache -f' (both as super- and normal user)?

OK. I removed from PC all font files non-exiting on proper running system and then updated the font cache. Reboot and it works!
