try rpm -i --nodeps --force filename On 7 Mar, George Zeigler wrote:

Hello, I found a TrueType rpm at http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib/noarch/noarch/webfonts-1-3.noarch.html But the rpm won't install because it needs for me to install the program chkfontpath. Well I don't want to install this program. I just need the fonts. I tried rpm --nodeps * '*' since if was the only file in the directory. This did not work. Is there a way to explode this rpm, even though I do not have depency programs installed. Just want the fonts. I read the man. The --nodeps did not work.

MicroSoft's site no longer offers Times NewRoman, Arial, and Courier in Win3.1 format, in case someone directs me there.

Thanks George

Have you tried rpm2cpio, which converts an rpm archive to a cpio archive? You should be able to extract just the files you want directly from the cpio archive.
