Sorry, i made a mistake when i type the "ttf-ms-fonts". However it will bring beautiful fonts.
I am use Simplified Chinese environment, and it works as good as in my Windows XP SP2

Re: the best way for ms fonts in Archlinux

Aren't there chinese fonts in the repos?

Like the following:

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/6831/
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/6832/
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/10092/

Anyway, good tip for those that still have a licensed copy of Windows on their box. License does permit such use, AFAIK.
