It should be there already. I can't understand that you need to install it.

Hi,

You need to download and install the Microsoft truetype fonts that are free (like free in free beer, not in free speech).

Open a terminal (Applications > Accessories) and type the command:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Provide your password (no chracaters will show up while typing them). You'll need a working internet connection to download the fonts.
