corefonts

I didn't find it by searching on ArchLinux.org, so is it possible to make a corefonts-pakage?
Or is there any ArchLinux-pakage already? If yes where can i find it?

Yes i know... MS-Fonts :shock: but for web-surfing it is very usefull .
If somebody doesn't know it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/font-tool/

I tried the the tgz-pakage from sourceforge, but it seems i haven't install some tools needed such as capextract and i don't know in which pakage i can find these tools .  Perhaps i have to search a little bit more... or can somebody help me ?

Re: corefonts

cabextract is in the extra. just:

pacman -S cabextract 

EDIT: and the ttf-ms-fonts is already in extra too.

Re: corefonts

:shock: OH! Sorry  :? ! My fault! Only tried "pacman -S corefonts" :?.
So a simple "pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts" works? I'll try it . Thank you!

EDIT: Worked ! Thanks!

Re: corefonts

Next time just try first

pacman -Ss font

(of course after pacman -Syu) It will list all the packages with "font" in their name or description. If you want to see what source files some package uses or from where it is downloaded run abs and find PKGBUILD in /var/abs or just search for package from arch www.
