After 8+ hours of installing and configuring Arch I am finally ready to start adding programs. I installed Chromium with Pacman but Chromium doesn't open and I get this error when I try and run it from the terminal:
[*****@Arch-Desktop ~]$ chromium
[2426:2426:750031879:FATAL:app/gfx/font_skia.cc(153)] Check failed: tf. Could not find any font: Helvetica, sans
Trace/breakpoint trap
I tried searching for the Helvetica font using "pacman -Ss helvetica" but it didn't find anything.
How do I install the fonts need by Chromium?
Thanks
Edited: Chromium just started working for some reason even though I didn't do anything to fix it.

The problem still exists with default installation. The trick is to install ttf-ms-fonts
This should, apparently, be added as a dependency.

@scrottro - Chromium just needs fonts; it doesn't have to specifically be ttf-ms-fonts. Secondly ttf-ms-fonts is an AUR package and will stay like that so it cannot be a dependency. Anyways there was already a bug about it:
