I've no idea if this totally works, patches (preferred) or suggestions are welcome.

This package is based on ttf-ms-win11 and ttf-ms-win10-auto. Like it's predecessor, ttf-ms-win10-auto, it differs from ttf-ms-win11 in that it automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft, if possible without downloading the entire ISO file.

It uses newer and faster httpdirfs, so downloads usually aren't that slow. For reference, it takes less than 2 minutes to download fonts then build and install the package on my system which gets maximum internet speed of ~5MiB/s.

Please ignore any 'ln' related errors, that is expected behaviour.

[Copied from ttf-ms-win10-auto]: 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).

Awesome package and automation! Thanks for this!

@KafCoppelia I currently don't have a testing environment. I'll try to reproduce the error you and @wagner encountered once I've a testing environment set up.

Same error occured as wagner.

what could be the cause of this error below?

==> Starting prepare()... - Examining locally available fonts - Fonts are missing - Mount filesystems as a non-privileged user: Error connecting to the udisks daemon: The connection is closed /var/cache/private/pamac/ttf-ms-win11-auto/PKGBUILD: line 406: -1: substring expression < 0 ==> Entering fakeroot environment... ==> Starting package_ttf-ms-win11-auto()... install: cannot stat 'arial.ttf': No such file or directory install: cannot stat 'arialbd.ttf': No such file or directory

@smokefml check comments on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/httpdirfs , rebuilding the binary or installing openssl-1.1 should fix it

it fails after checking if mounting filesystems is allowed, httpfsdirs doesn't seem to be working

- Mount filesystems as a non-privileged user: allowed
- Downloading fonts directly
- Mounting HTTP file
httpdirfs: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@Kimi_Arthur it is possible to install this package when using SSH, you have to make sure that polkit allows mounting ISO using udisks (refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udisks#Permissions). The check for detecting whether unprivileged mount is allowed is broken, it fails the script if unprivileged mount isn't allowed. I'll try to fix this issue soon when I get free time, but I'm busy atm.

Correct me if I get it wrong. Does the pinned message mean I cannot install this package if I'm using SSH?

For the common case of remote server, this doesn't make much sense to me...

@golam71 please read the pinned comment(s)

@OlegKrikun thanks for reporting this, I'll make error handling more robust in future (making sure that stuff is cleaned up and unmounted in case of errors)
