Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Microsoft fonts on an openSUSE 11.1 system that don't involve scripts of unknown origin, that produce "a lot of error messages" and bypass the RPM system?
The license for the Microsoft fonts package does not allow your to repackage them. In particular, you aren't allowed to turn the .cab into a .rpm. So, you probably won't see such a method from a responsible distributor.
Yeah. Interestingly enough, I found an irresponsible one. You know, given how picky I am about fonts (*), I'd gladly pay a reasonable price for the MS fonts, which is more than I can say for most of what they sell... (*) I'm not claiming I have superior taste or discrimination in typography, only that I know what matters to me for video monitor purposes, and no one has matched Microsoft for my needs in that area.
