Here's a blog entry that shows them:

Oh, and the fonts can be found in AUR:

you guys are great thanks.

one question: what do i do with the package i downloaded and uncompressed from the AUR? I know that there is a folder I am supposed to put it in, but I don't know what that folder is.

I just downloaded the .tar.gz file, uncompressed it, and as root, moved it to my /usr/share/fonts folder and all is good.

It's not managed by pacman, so I wouldn't consider it "good".

well...I wanna have it to be managed by pacman. So i would have to click on "cvs" and download the "PKGBUILD" and/or "TTF.install" file and then follow the above given instructions....right??

How are ya supposed to "download" it. I don't see a download link; the one there doesn't allow me to do much of anything except look at the code.

In this case, you should rather put them in ~/.fonts/ imo.
Rather use /usr/share/fonts with a pacman package, since thats where all other fonts controlled by pacman are installed already.
