To obtain these fonts, pull down the Applications menu and then click Add / Remove ... In the search field, enter core font selected by ensuring all applications available in the dropdown. So check Microsoft Core Fonts then Apply the changes. A window will ask you to confirm your choice by clicking Apply. Then enter your password to start the installation.
