Hi, all,
This PKGBUILD needs some love from someone who groks how one this complicated works :(
I d'l'ded the new/latest 19044.1288.211006-0501.21h2_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTENTERPRISEEVAL_OEMRET_x64FRE_en-us.iso and updated the .iso checksum. But some of the fonts included within have changed so a few of the individual font checksums fail, and the pkgs don't build.
I futzed around with it for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to update these incorrect checksums, but I ended up more confused :\
P.S.: loryeam's ttf-ms-win11-auto pkg did work fine for me, if those fonts meet your needs :)

This package is based on ttf-ms-win10. It differs in that it automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft, if possible without downloading an entire ISO file.
If Polkit allows the user to create loop devices and mount files using udisks, around 200 MB of (mostly compressed) data will be downloaded. This can be a slow download method even over the fastest connections, since the fonts are taken from a large ISO file without downloading the entire file.
If Polkit is not available or it does not allow the user to use udisks, the entire ISO file will be downloaded and install.wim will be extracted. A check ensures that enough temporary disk space is available, which can be up to twice the size of the ISO file. This can happen if either Polkit or an authentication agent is not running, or when a user is logged in remotely (e.g. through SSH).
