Running Mint 19 Cinnamon beta, with the 4.15 kernel. Default install included ms-ttf corefonts, as well as a large number of foreign fonts including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and a bunch of other fonts which shouldn't be taking up space on my machine I chose ENGLISH and ENGLISH keyboard during the install but I digress. Libre Office pull down font menu shows a few fonts in English, but mostly foreign fonts and everything ms-ttf corefonts are missing. I tried uninstalling ms-ttf, reboot, reinstall ms-ttf, reboot, clear and rebuild the font cache no luck. Totally irrelevant (or should be so) my IP address is actually in Mexico, and my DNS servers formerly in Mexico City until I switched to Google DNS although I am in Tijuana (Pacific Time, not Baja Calif time). The IP and time zone has confused Windows 10, as well as Libre Office on both Ubuntu and Mint in past releases - it thinks I want Spanish spell check. Perhaps this is related to Libre Office thinking I'm in Asia or the middle east?
Do you see MS ttf corefonts in the font viewer? If I compare with Ubuntu the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer is only an installer and you must accept the MS licence. Did you do that? Status set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested informations are provided. Best regards. JBF
If by font viewer you mean Libre Office's pull down menu, no, The ms-ttf corefonts were not visible. I neglected to mention I was using Synaptic to uninstall initially, reboot, reinstalled via Synaptic and accepted the EULA several times without success. Here's how I fixed the missing fonts: installed via commandline using sudo apt-get install and package name. Turns out this may not be a Libre Office issue exactly, as you probably know gdebi and gksudo are broken in Buster, Bionic and Mint 19. About the other fonts I don't need I'll submit that as a product suggestion for future versions. Only install the fonts the user needs/wants. Thanks for your time! Rich H.
