mscorefonts and default font Hinting=full

[matheusds4]

I've struggled with the Courier New font due to Linux inconsistencies compared to Windows. There are free fonts that get close, but they don't look the same beautiful way. My idea here is basically to bring better defaults.

Setup (Linux Mint installer)

• Install Microsoft fonts on setup; e.g. (requires internet connection)
  • sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
  • sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
    • It asks to read and accept license, so provide some nice UI (some modal perhaps) instead of having to use the terminal to read/accept the license.
  • sudo fc-cache -f -v
• Force full TrueType hinting and "rgba" antialiasing

Internet connection restored

• If mscorefonts haven't been installed on setup (e.g. due to lack of internet connection), then show, like, a modal, requesting installation.

User rejection

• If the user insists they don't want mscorefonts, then dismiss reminding.
• If the user decides to install it later, then provide some setting for "reminding" mscorefonts installation.

And...

voila! Finally Courier New and perhaps other fonts look good on almost every device.
