# Description: Script to install Microsoft Vista TrueType Fonts (TTF) aka Microsoft’s ClearType fonts on Ubuntu distros
#              Microsoft added a group of new "ClearType Fonts" to Windows with Windows Vista and Office 2007.
#              These fonts are named Constantia, Corbel, Calibri, Cambria (and Cambria Math), Candara, and Consolas. 
#              Calibri became the default font on Microsoft Word 2007, and it’s still the default font on Word 2016 today.
# Dependencies: wget, fontforge and cabextract
# Tested: Ubuntu Saucy/Trusty/Xenial
#
# DL: wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tavinus/1a92c79d790657d5b66546996dd006b9/raw/ttf-vista-fonts-installer.sh -O ./ttf-vista-fonts-installer.sh && chmod +x ./ttf-vista-fonts-installer.sh
