If for some reason the download link no longer works, you can find a new one at (in order of preference):

1, 2 or 3.

You can specify a different URL (eg for a different language):

export TTF_MS_WIN_URL='http://www.new.com/path/to/image.iso';
paru -S ttf-ms-win-httpdirfs

If you want to specify a different image index inside sources/install.wim, you can set, eg: TTF_MS_WIN_WIM_IDX=2 (default==1).

If you have an unstable internet connection and need to be able to resume the approx 346MB download (.zst is 181MB):

cache_dir=path/to/cache
export TTF_MS_WIN_HTTP_CACHE="$(realpath "$cache_dir)";
paru -S ttf-ms-win-httpdirfs

For years I've been annoyed whenever I wanted to install Windows True Type fonts.

It's been a bit of a journey. It took some time and "it should be easier" stubbornness...

What it does
  • Gets the URL of the latest Windows 11 Enterprise Evaluation ISO URL
  • Mounts that URL via httpdirfs
  • Mounts the ISO file via udfclientfs. I needed to package that also, with:
    • Sector size autodetect
    • FUSE 3 upgrade
    • Fixed compiler warnings
    • Why not just use udisksctl? It has a race condition and times out on my system.
  • Extracts and parses the install.wim image metadata to get the version
  • Extracts the licence.rtf
  • Extracts the fonts
  • Cleans up the mounts (via a trap, which keeps and restores the default traps)

The total download is 346MB (.zst is 181MB).
