Just an update. I used the link and got the fetchmsttfonts.sh script. This script was located on the openSUSE website and is the Microsoft fonts install script for the openSUSE 11.0 distribution. The script worked fine and now I have Microsoft fonts on my 11.1 install. I am not sure why, but the pullin script for the Microsoft fonts did not work in the 11.1 install.
Thanks for all of the help in getting this resolved.
Dave

I usually look for the Arial font to see if the ttf fonts were installed.
I am not sure if attachments are allowed or not, but I've attached a fetchmsttfonts.sh file to this email. If the attachment comes thru, great. If not, do a search on the net for that file.
It worked for my 11.1 install even though there were alot of error msg's. YMMV

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? I found an RPM spec file and instructions for building a Microsoft font RPM, but the build script requires a utility called ttmkfdir which I cannot find. Any suggestions?
