Does anyone know where I can find the Microsoft Core Fonts?
In the Windows installation of your system (typically C:\Windows\Fonts on XP). You can then copy them over to your linux installation and install them through the "Font Installer" icon in the "Configure Desktop" dialog (which you access from the global openSUSE menu). I did that the other day to install Verdana, Tahoma and Courier New, although I must admit that the fonts pre-packaged with openSUSE are really nice for once (I have been using Linux since 1994, and that's the first time I didn't have troubles with fonts, which I think is a great achievement) regards Emmanuel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

We will be releasing a patch to install them in some days, after the first libzypp update necessary for it. Even now you can try: zypper in http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0-test/rpm/noarch/fetchmsttfonts-11.0...

(Err, actually this functionality might be only in the first libzypp update. The RPM however contains the script to run.) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Got 'em. Thanks for the asist. Here's a recap: Emmanuel's method didn't work (I couldn't find "Font Installer") Marcus's method didn't work (RPM still has dependencies) Ben's method worked.
