Times New Roman for OpenOffice.org 3.2

Asked by Ali Sinan TUZUN

I can't find the font Times New Roman / Arial etc

I use Ubuntu 10.10 and OpenOffice.org 3.2

I checked some relevant questions.

Multiverse repositories are enabled on Synaptic. I can't find package msttcorefonts. I wrote "sudo aptitude update" on Terminal. Pressed "Enter", when I wrote my password (my computer password for Ubuntu, I hope it's the write password). I didn't see anything, the characters didn't appeared. Pressed "Enter" again but then it wrote "command not found"

Please install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package... from Applications→Ubuntu software center or from terminal:

open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal

**Tip: right click with mouse on the top terminal windows title caption and select the menu item "Always on Top"
doing this you will force the terminal window to stay on top of the other windows and you will find very easy
to copy single row from this web page into the terminal...
Something more about using the terminal https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal

Then type or better copy and paste a row a time then press enter:
(Tip: select the single row to copy from this page then right click and select copy then click into the terminal window
and to quick paste click with middle button of mouse )

Copy and paste the rows below, copy and paste one row a time (see the **Tip) then press enter:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
