How to install Arial font (and other Windows fonts) in ubuntu?
How to install Arial font in Ubuntu? I found many ways to install fonts in Ubuntu but I didn’t find any proper way or method to install (particularly) Arial fonts in Ubuntu.

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer sudo fc-cache -f I have been getting LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: «Liberation Sans» «Regular» for sudo fc-match Arial
So I tried following to make it work :
1) Create directory to download fonts to: sudo mkdir ~/ms-fonts/
3) Download fonts manually :
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arial32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arialb32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/comic32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/courie32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/georgi32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/impact32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/times32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/trebuc32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/webdin32.exe 4) sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer and follow instructions. When asked, use full path to directory where fonts were downloaded i.e. /home/root2/ms-fonts/
6) Check if installation is done successfully or not : sudo fc-match Arial

Currently, there is a problem with sourceforge. The installer can’t download the fonts properly.
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer sudo fc-cache I have been getting LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: «Liberation Sans» «Regular» for sudo fc-match Arial
So I tried following to make it work :
1) Create directory to download fonts to: sudo mkdir ~/ms-fonts/
3) Download fonts manually :
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arial32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arialb32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/comic32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/courie32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/georgi32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/impact32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/times32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/trebuc32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/webdin32.exe 4) sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer and follow instructions.

Since the ttf-mscorefonts-installer mechanism mentioned in the accepted answer is still broken in Ubuntu 18.04 and I could not find a suitable mirror server for it to fix it, I propose to use this manual mechanism instead to install the very same fonts:
- Install cabextract , a tool needed to unpack self-extracting .exe archives:
sudo apt install cabextract wget https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/webfonts/webfonts.tar.gz tar -xzf webfonts.tar.gz cd msfonts/ cabextract *.exe cp *.ttf *.TTF ~/.local/share/fonts/ My Ubuntu does not want to know Arial
I do have many fonts with a version of Arial, but for some reason when programs are trying to use Arial it gets substituted with a totally unrelated font. How the bug is seen in Libreoffice: When I remove the ‘fake Arial’ font (Xixtrec in the picture), Arial just gets substituded for another wrong font. Here is a list of installed fonts with name Arial in them:
