First you could check in Open Office to see if there is the 'Arial'
font.  If so then you probably have the MS core fonts pack already. 
If not then you need to go past the installation sources to the actual
list of packages available.  At the top of the scree just to the left
you can change whether you want installed packages, installation
summary and others.  I'm not sure where the font pack will be shown
but I think it is in the available updates section.  This will be
shown at the bottom left of the screen.  You'll probably need to
scroll down as there are security updates in red to start with.   Then
if I remember rightly you get recommended updates in blue then
optional ones in black.  The MS core fonts pack is in black.
