[SOLVED] Fonts different in Chromium and Firefox
I've installed all the microsoft fonts by copying over the TTF files from a windows installation, and as you can see, the fonts work in Firefox but not Chromium.
How can I configure Chromium to use the MS fonts correctly? In Chromium settings I have Arial set as my default Sans-serif font but it doesn't seem to work correctly. Clearly the font is installed because Firefox is using it and I can select it as my default font in Chromium

Re: [SOLVED] Fonts different in Chromium and Firefox
I finally worked out what the issue is. When I pasted the fonts in /usr/share/fonts and ran fc-cache -vf I pasted as root (because /usr/share/fonts isn't writeable by other users) but I never set the permissions on the files themselves! running chmod * 755 on in the /microsoft/ directory I created then fc-cache -vf solved the issue!
