Vista fonts installer commands

Microsoft Vista fonts installation (like Calibri)

Source: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/365

I modified original script vistafonts-installer to download and install fonts to folder /usr/share/fonts. Original script used ~/.fonts folder, but I think that system folder is better because one fonts can use multiple users.

1. Download modified installation script and save it to Downloads folder in your home directory

2.3. Install curl package

sudo apt-get install curl4.5. Run installation script

sudo ~/Downloads/vistafonts-installer-mofied6.

We have to fix problem with messes up ligatures when displaying Calibri font

1. Open fonts.conf as rootsudo nano /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

2. Paste at the end of file, before element </fontconfig>, these XML lines

<match target="font" >    <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">        <bool>false</bool>    </edit></match>

3.4. Save fonts.conf file and restart computer
