PlayOnLinux is not installing MS Core Fonts, Ubuntu

The POL Way

Normally the Microsoft Core Fonts can be installed like this:

  • Click Configure
  • Select the prefix where you want the fonts installed
  • Tab Install components
  • Select Microsoft Core Fonts from the list and click Install

Manually

However, if for some reason this doesn't install the fonts, it's still possible to do that manually. First install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package:

$ sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Note the prefix name: ls ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix

And replace yourprefix in the command with the one you want:

$ cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/* ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/yourprefix/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Now we have the core fonts in place. We can remove the package:

$ sudo apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
