Bug description:
  Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

  I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer in software center about a year
  ago; In openoffice I could read but not write ms fonts; But If I
  opened a document that was written with ms fonts on another computer I
  could write with ms fonts in that file (but ms fonts were still not in
  Oo drop down list; Finally, a year later (today) I uninstalled and
  reinstalled ms fonts in software center; A window poped up saying
  something like "if I didn't accept eula install wouldn't work"; The
  popup window was frozen, options, like "back" didn't work; I opened a
  terminal and installed with sudo apt-get install ttf-ms... ; Accepted
  eula, and all is working fine now          ---thank you one and all---
