The .install script can and should be removed. The font cache is automatically by pacman hooks provided by fontconfig and xorg-mkfontscale, see Font package guidelines.

@a.kudelin LibreOffice's Type1 font support is removed in LO 5.3, So you cannot these font in LO with this package. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.3#General

To use these font in LO, buy these font with OpenType format from linotype, GmbH ...

Hi!
How to make these fonts appear in LibreOffice?

leuko commented on 2022-02-07 16:15 (UTC)

Ditto @actionless

Otherwise the following error:

Updating font cache... /tmp/alpm_K8nqEG/.INSTALL: line 4: mkfontscale: command not found
/tmp/alpm_K8nqEG/.INSTALL: line 5: mkfontdir: command not found

actionless commented on 2020-10-01 07:33 (UTC)

If you're using Pentaho Data Integration Tools (PDI) , https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/8.3/Setup/Install_the_PDI_tools_and_plugins, which uses Helvetica in the splash screen, this package will crash the startup process, without explanation. It took me more then 3 days to figure this out. I want to save people some time of their life and hopefully Google will index this comment properly.

@eisterman I used this mirror: http://ftp.sunet.se/mirror/archive/ftp.sunet.se/pub/vendor/adobe/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/3.x/acroread_linux_301.tar.gz

eisterman commented on 2019-08-10 19:09 (UTC)

Where can i find the mirrors?

Looks like the file was removed from their FTP site.

I just used some mirror. Good thing we have a checksum.

Might want to up that to sha256 now that we have to use potentially unsafe mirrors.
