Office 2007 Fonts
From RHLUG
Office 2007 came with many new fonts, including the default font Calibri. It may be desirable to have these fonts installed when transferring documents between Linux and non-Linux computers. To make these fonts available on your system follow these steps:
Warning: The following steps violate the license agreement of the PowerPoint viewer.
- Install cabextract. This packages is in most major Linux distribution repositories.
- Download the Powerpoint viewer from Microsoft's website.
- Extract the contents of the downloaded exe file using cabextract. You may want to first move the file into a directory of its own, since the file is an exebomb.
- Run cabextract on the extracted ppviewer.cab. You will get several *.TTF files.
- Move these fonts to ~/.fonts (For local user installation) or /usr/share/fonts (For system-wide use).
- Update your font cache using fc-cache -fv
- You may now delete the contents of the extracted Powerpoint viewer.
