Re: Error trying to install ttf-win7-fonts

Read https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tt/t … s/PKGBUILD

# BUILD INSTRUCTIONS:
# ----------------------
# This package is intended as a more up-to-date replacement for the AUR
# 'ttf-ms-fonts' and 'ttf-vista-fonts' packages. It provides newer versions of
# the fonts in these packages, but due to license issues cannot automatically
# download the fonts.
#
# Instead, you must acquire them from a Windows 7 system or install media:
#  - Running Windows 7 system: fonts are located in C:\Windows\Fonts
#  - Windows 7 install media: fonts are located in sources/install.wim, which
#    is a "Windows Imaging Format" archive. This archive can be extracted with
#    7-zip (p7zip package): "7z x install.wim 1/Windows/Fonts"
#    Alternatively, you can use GNOME's File Roller (and maybe other archive
#    managers) to extract the files if the p7zip package is installed.
#
# You need the files listed in the source=() array. Place them in the same
# directory as this PKGBUILD file, then run makepkg.

...

Also the first (i.e bottom) comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50762 tells you

No automatic downloading of sources is possible due to licensing issues.
Be sure to read the build instructions in the PKGBUILD!
