Somehow it is missing the Arial Regular font and I must have it. Anyone know how I can reinstall it? An option that is NOT viable is doing a system Skip to main content. Lost font: Arial Regular--how can I reinstall it? I just bought a new HP computer w/ Win 7 64 bit. Somehow it is missing the Arial Regular font and I must have it.
- Arial, Mon Amour, and Other Font Passions - The New York Times. Simonson, who sells original fonts on his Web site, is the author of an online article called 'The Scourge of Arial.'
- Installing a custom font is a simple process on Windows. Option 1: Select Install. Confirm the font files are copied to the computer (not on a portable drive or network folder). Right-Click the font file and select > Install. Windows will do everything and the font is now available to all programs on that computer.

I'm sure, it's a duplicate, anyway.
Simply run
in a terminal.
After that, check with
Currently, there is a problem with sourceforge. The installer can't download the fonts properly.
A.B.A.B.I have been getting LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: 'Liberation Sans' 'Regular' for sudo fc-match Arial
So I tried following to make it work :
1) Create directory to download fonts to: sudo mkdir ~/ms-fonts/
2) cd ~/ms-fonts/
3) Download fonts manually :
4) sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer and follow instructions. When asked, use full path to directory where fonts were downloaded i.e. /home/root2/ms-fonts/
5) sudo fc-cache
6) Check if installation is done successfully or not : sudo fc-match Arial
Hope this helps.
Edward TorvaldsSince the ttf-mscorefonts-installer
mechanism mentioned in the accepted answer is still broken in Ubuntu 18.04 and I could not find a suitable mirror server for it to fix it, I propose to use this manual mechanism instead to install the very same fonts:
Arial Mon Tatah
Install
cabextract
, a tool needed to unpack self-extracting.exe
archives:Download the font package provided via this page (also note the EULA there):
Unpack, twice:
Move the fonts to your user's directory for installing additional fonts:
Restart the software in which you want to use the fonts, and they should be ready to use.
Do following steps:
- Open software manager if its mint or Ubuntu software center if youare using Ubuntu
- Search for
ttf-mscorefonts
- Install it
