I recently had occasion to reinstall my entire system, something that is happening with disturbing regularity. Usually, I get an opportunity to download and install Microsoft TrueType core fonts. This time, for some reason, I didn't get that opportunity. I would still like to install the core fonts but I can't seem to find a way to get to them. I've looked in Synaptic but no MS fonts are available. I've tried using YaST but can't find any MS fonts. Can anyone point me to a source of MS TrueType core fonts and a way to install them? I'd really appreciate it.

Uhhh Sir... YOU is an acronymn for YAST ONLINE UPDATE. Go into the online update of YAST and you should find the fonts for downloading. You've been looking in all the wrong places.

That answer sounds good but 'you' is a link to yast2 which I've already tried. I looked in all the modules but mainly in the 'Install and Remove Software' module. I've searched it six ways from Sunday and MS TrueType fonts are just not there.
I have a Windows system with all the fonts I want, paid for many times over. Is there a way to move them to my linux system and install them so they can be accessed in a standard way?
