@louipc: the license is in the package. And yes, this may be illegal in some countries and not in others. If you are curious as to what the differences ("more liberal") are to the other package on the AUR, please read the respective licenses.

Thanks for your comments olive. We still need the maintainer to include a copy of the license in the package.

@louipc These font comes from Powerpoint viewer 2007. According to: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb9bf144-1076-4615-9951-294eeb832823 You may use the fonts that accompany the PowerPoint Viewer only to display and print content from a device running a Microsoft So using this package may well be illegal (I am not a lawyer, I cannot say if this is really enforceable).

Well, I was thinking that the name of this package is misleading. Maybe it should be called ttf-powerpoint-fonts instead. You said the license is more liberal than another Microsoft font package. Can you please include the license in the package? Thanks.

Also add the dependencies 'xorg-fonts-encodings'.

mutlu_inek commented on 2010-12-14 19:44 (UTC)

True. Fixed.

Fonts should be arch=('any')

@ louipic: I changed the URI to point to the new location. The package itself has not changed, however. I am not sure what is difficult to understand about how this PKGBUILD works. It should be self-explanatory. Just to make clear: it downloads the Powerpoint viewer and extracts the font files. The reason for this is that the license of this package is more liberal than that of the new (and superfluous) ttf-ms-extrafonts. In fact, there is no reason the latter package was created on the AUR. It should be removed.

The package website is invalid. I'm confused though. You're fetching powerpoint viewer which is found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=048dc840-14e1-467d-8dca-19d2a8fd7485&displaylang=en But Microsoft has a page dedicated to Vista fonts and typography here: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/product.aspx?PID=149 It would be nice if you can explain what's happening in a comment in the PKGBUILD. Thanks.
