How to Install Microsoft Fonts on Fedora 36 Linux

Most Linux Distributions use open-source fonts to substitute Microsoft’s iconic typefaces like Arial, Courier New, and Times. Red Hat created the Liberation family to replace these similar-looking but different sizes — all you have to do is select your preferred font when editing documents so that they’ll be readable without any disruptions!

For users who want to install Microsoft fonts and want the option to use them in LibreOffice, the following tutorial will teach you how to install Microsoft fonts on Fedora 36 Linux using the command line terminal and how to remove the fonts if required.

Update Fedora Linux

First, before you begin, make sure your system is up-to-date by using the following terminal command.

sudo dnf upgrade --refresh

Install Microsoft Fonts

By default, Microsoft Fonts are available in Fedora 36’s repository. To begin the installation, use the following command.

sudo dnf install mscore-fonts -y

Alternatively, you can install a much more extensive range of fonts such as bc, edwin fonts, gootville, leland, musejazz, and more using the following command.

sudo dnf install mscore-fonts-all -y

Verify Microsoft Fonts

By default, fonts will be available in most applications now, but you can confirm by launching the fonts application.

Activities > Show Applications > Fonts.

Example:

Once opened, you can search fonts to confirm that Microsoft fonts are installed.

For users that installed the mscore-fonts-all package, search for the edwin font.

Example:

Additionally, you can search for another, such as musejazz font.

How to Remove (Uninstall) Microsoft Fonts

Use the following command to remove the fonts for users who no longer wish to have Microsoft fonts on their system.

sudo dnf autoremove mscore-fonts*

This will remove in Microsoft fonts.

Comments and Conclusion

Overall, Microsoft fonts are proprietary software, so not all Linux users would be thrilled to install these depending on your stance about open-source software. However, with the right font, color, and text size, your creative work will be more readable depending on your situation, work environment, and audience, and these fonts may be required to do this.
