I am currently using Xfce4.8 and have installed xorg-fonts-100dpi xorg-fonts-75dpi and type 1 fonts.
Now the fonts in xfce are starting to look good, menu fonts on firefox look good but many webpages
are using ugly non aliased fonts.
I would like to include the ttf-ms-fonts and have found the folowing wiki page:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13030
I have installed the dependemcies
fontconfig xorg-font-utils xorg-fonts-encodings
and also just one font:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe
I am unsure how to install the verdana font so any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
(A works at time B) && (time C > time B ) ≠ (A works at time C)

Thanks Guys, I am now having trouble with makepkg
I have unzipp ttf-ms-fonts
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ ls
LICENSE PKGBUILD ttf-ms-fonts.install
When I run makepkg this error appears:
[anc@orac ttf-ms-fonts]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Fakeroot must be installed if using the 'fakeroot' option
in the BUILDENV array in /etc/makepkg.conf.
So I check contents of /etc/makepkg.conf
--snip--
#########################################################################
# BUILD ENVIRONMENT
#########################################################################
#
# Defaults: BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
# A negated environment option will do the opposite of the comments below.
#
#-- fakeroot: Allow building packages as a non-root user
#-- distcc: Use the Distributed C/C++/ObjC compiler
#-- color: Colorize output messages
#-- ccache: Use ccache to cache compilation
#-- check: Run the check() function if present in the PKGBUILD

BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache check)
#
#-- If using DistCC, your MAKEFLAGS will also need modification. In addition,
#-- specify a space-delimited list of hosts running in the DistCC cluster.
#DISTCC_HOSTS=""
This looks as though option fakeroot is enabled, is there anything else I need to change?

Please (re)read the AUR User Guidelines. You're missing the base-devel group, which is mandatory for installing from the AUR...
sudo pacman -S base-devel
