Public bug reported:

I fount two instances where the manual tells the user to use Synaptic
instead of the Software Center. Using the Software center is preferable
since its user friendlier and Synaptic probably won't be included by
10.10 (or even in Lucid, see bug#506498)

On page 137 (troubleshooting -> Some text looks incorrect or corrupted)
the manual tells the user to use synaptic to install the package "tts-
mscorefonts-installer". In Lucid the package can also be installed
through the Software Center as "Installer for Microsoft TrueType core
fonts" (tested in beta1)

Also on page 137 (troubleshooting ->I can’t play certain audio or video
files, or interact with some web-sites)  the manual says to use synaptic
instead of the Software Center to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras
(name in the Software Center: "Ubuntu restricted extras")

Synaptic is sometimes used when Software center works as well
