install "wine", and all of these fonts are installed. Otherwise,
you can install the MS fonts manually in /usr/share/fonts</font></p>

<font size="+1">I have been receiving this error message for about
2 weeks. It says:<br>
The following packages requested additional data downloads after
package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or
could not be processed. ttf-mscorefonts-installer<br>
<br>
The data appears to be Microsoft brand fonds. I use Linux
(Xubuntu 16.04). I run Libra-office for a program that might
use these fonts. I do not use MS brand fonts, although my
spreadsheets come up with Arial, which I must change to
FreeSans.<br>
<br>
When I "run this action now", it opens a terminal, asks for my
root password and appears to try to download files with a .exe
file type.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
