How do I install the "Impact" font? [duplicate]

I was wondering what's the best way to go about this. I don't have it available in Kdenlive or GIMP so I don't think it's installed.

The ttf-mscorefonts-installer package doesn't work for me, it constantly shows an error of "Failed to download extra data files". There's probably a different way to install this one font...

The solution I've found is to download Debian's version of this package:

https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/all/ttf-mscorefonts-installer/download

Then the fonts install without any problems! Hooray, and curse Ubuntu for failing to create a functional package when they could've just copied Debian's version and had it work!
