[SOLVED] How do I install Times New Roman?

[theycallmesam]

I need to use Times New Roman for school. Nimbus Roman just won't cut it, so I need to get Times New Roman.
How do I go about doing that?

If you are dual-booting with Windows, use MCC -> System -> Manage fonts -> "Get windows fonts"

If you are not dual-booting, but do have a Windows system, copy the appropriate files from the \Windows\fonts directory to your Mageia system and install them using MCC -> Manage fonts -> "import"
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/3/en/content/drakfont.html

If you do not have access to a Windows system, then see:

What about Liberation Serif ?

@jkerr82508
I'm trying to do the third option, but when I try to install the package, an error says...

Code: Select all

Some requested packages cannot be installed: msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch (due to unsatisfied xorg-x11-font-utils)

I proceeded to install some Xorg font stuff from the repos, but the error still keeps occurring. What now?

I just want to be super sure that it will work. The class is an online course, so I just want to be on the safe side of things and get Times New Roman.

I found TNR from an outside source and downloaded it and installed it directly. It works well.
I will mark as solved.

Just install the package either with rpm -ihv --nodeps or urpmi --allow-nodeps --allow-force, the package it requires is not provided by Mageia,
or with another name, without changing the package you won't be able to satisfy this dependency normally (e.g. without using the options)
