Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubufox
When a user browses a page that contains Andale Mono, Arial, Comic Sans
MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS,
Verdana, Webdings, we should offer to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
(previously msttcorefonts). This will allow the user to more easily
transition to browsing the web on Ubuntu.
As it is, the font replacement technique right now makes pages look very
odd to users coming from Windows or Mac OS. We have a Flash installer,
which also relies on using apt to download code from the web, so this
shouldn't impose a major problem, and will have great benefits to users
who note that "fonts look weird" and do not have the technical savvy to
fix it.
