lbarrys/msttcore-fonts-installer

Description

This installs the TrueType core fonts for the web that were once available from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/ prior to 2002, and most recently updated in the European Union Expansion Update circa May 2007, still available on the Microsoft website. This also installs Microsoft's ClearType fonts, see http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypeFonts.mspx for more info.

Note that the TrueType fonts are not part of the rpm. They are downloaded by the rpm when the rpm is installed.

The font cab files are downloaded from a Sourceforge project mirror and unpacked at install time. Therefore this package technically does not 'redistribute' the cab files. The fonts are then added to the core X fonts system as well as the Xft font system.

These are the cab files downloaded:

andale32.exe, arialb32.exe, comic32.exe, courie32.exe,
georgi32.exe, impact32.exe, webdin32.exe, EUupdate.EXE,
wd97vwr32.exe, PowerPointViewer.exe

The following cab files are only downloaded if EUupdate.EXE cannot be downloaded, since the EUupdate.EXE cab contains updates for the fonts in these cabs:

arial32.exe, times32.exe, trebuc32.exe, verdan32.exe

These are the fonts added:

1998 Andale Mono
2006 Arial: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
1998 Arial: black
2007 Calabri: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
2007 Cambria: bold, bold italic, italic
