Open Office doesn't come with most of the MS fonts. I've been struggling all afternoon to add them with nothing to show for it. The interwebs are no help either because the methods to fix the "broken packages" error I'm getting don't work.

Gallium OS. Not sure what ver, etc. because I've been drinking pretty heavily since I posted the question.

I'll check your link tomorrow and get back to you.

Gallium OS

Simple answer: sudo apt install gnome-font-viewer

It has an "install" button.

Set it to open font files from your file mangler and you'll be overloading your system with ridiculous new fonts in no time.

I shall try this immediately. Thanks!

EDIT: This froze my crappy machine so I had to restart.
