Title:
  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 128

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

  Gosh all I know is that this program wouldn't install to be integrated
  with the operating system and then be able to be used.

  OPEN STATEMENT TO THE UBUNTU user community.  
  I'm located in Fresno, Calif. and if there is anyone out there in Fresno, Calif. or worldwide that wants to have software OPERATIONS documentation - written to support the software code and its performance, and also support the software users with operating instructions, then I'd be happy to type the required text as my contribution to the Linux/Gnu/Ubuntu cause - so to speak.  

  You can e-mail me at: David_Wells_59 at Yahoo dot com ----- HOWEVER,
  MAKE CERTAIN YOU PUT THE WORDS "Ubuntu User" in the subject heading,
  that way I'll know it's not junk mail and is important to me. THANKS
  TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS ON Linux, Gnu, Ubuntu and all the folks that
  make the products and sub-products that go into making up such a fine
  end result.  My hat if tipped and off to you with a hearty THANKS!  -
  for thinking of someone besides yourself and your own selfish motives
  - if - you fit into that category!    some people can give things away
  for free and still have selfish motives -- therefore - my hat is NOT
  tipped to you but --- I suppose I should still say - THANKS!

  So THANKS EVERYONE - which is responsible for my Ubuntu and Linux overall experience. 
  David Wells
