Why are MS fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Cambria missing in Writer?

Why are MS fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, Cambria missing in Writer?

Due to legal restrictions, we've removed all paid fonts from Writer (including MS Fonts like Arial, Verdana, Calibri, etc). We now only support fonts that are free and WebSafe. However, you can add fonts available in your system to Writer. Here's how:

1. Go to More Options > Format > Font

2. From the drop down, select Add Font > From Your Computer. 


3. Now type the name of the font you want from your computer and click on Add.



The font will now be added to Writer. Please note that the system fonts you use in your documents will only be visible to collaborators if they also have the same font installed in their computers. A substitute font would be used otherwise. 

Note: If the font you have added is not found in your font library, try doing the following:
1. Restart your browser after the font installed.

2. Make sure you typed the right font name installed in your machine.

If the fonts you want aren't available in your system, Writer gives its equal alternatives you can use instead. Here's the list of popular fonts and their alternatives available in Writer:
