The Search for Lucida and Monaco

Hello guys...

I was wondering: where can I get the "Lucida Grande" and "Monaco" fonts for arch? When I installed arch (and screwed it up, too), I had those two fonts... but I can't remember which packages had installed them.
I know they must've come from some package, because I reinstalled arch a few hours later (I didn't have time to install a load of software..)

can anyone help?

I believe Lucida Grande is copyrighted, and as so I doubt it was included in some package.

But Monaco TTF is available for free (and I use it too, it's a great monospaced font). Anyway, you can download both anywhere on the "intertubes"

I believe that the Java SDK Win32 installer includes the Lucida family of fonts as well.

I can't remember where I got Monaco, but Lucida Grande is here, together with some other interesting fonts

Thanks,

I found the fonts I needed online, as expected. However, I'm still wondering what package did I install that installed them the other time...
Anyways, thank you

cheers

You can get the monaco font for linux here. I must say it looks very good in vim.

I might be wrong but I think the lucida fonts were part of the 'jre' package (sun's java).
