I tried to install Microsoft Fonts through the terminal and now LibreOffice Writer will not work!
I was trying to get Times New Roman on LibreOffice Writer, so I used the command:
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
The terminal ran it and everything "finished" but nothing happened. I tried to open LibreOffice Writer and it would display the icon LibreOffice 5 before disappearing and not opening the program. I thought that it was the installer's doing, so I ran the code to supposedly get rid of it. That code/command was:
sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Now I'm sitting here, trying to get it to work, but I'm getting the same results.
For reference, when I used the first command the following appeared:

What do I do to fix this? I have a lot of documents made with LibreOffice Writer and I don't want to lose them!
