[SOLVED] A matter of fonts.

Hello friends. I recently saw that due to legal issues we cannot get from the repositories the W7 fonts but I have a dual boot so i have access to all Macrosoft fonts just by entering into the windows partition. So my question is, can i install the fonts just by copying and pasting them into my arch font folders or do i need to do something else?

BTW, sorry for my english.

Re: [SOLVED] A matter of fonts.

Take a look at the ttf-win7-fonts package in the AUR. There are clear instructions in the PKGBUILD file.

In this case you will probably want to download and extract the tarball manually. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … g_packages
