Thanks for the package, this works well. One comment: on a relativly fresh arch install, I was told I needed the "fontforge" package as a dependency during the makepkg step. This should perhaps be added to the list of dependencies...

I just did some research on this. Calibri Light was added by this update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2761217/en-us To me it looks as if this update is only downloadable from a Windows system - the download site asks you to run a "Genuine Windows Validation" tool, then enter the code produced by this tool. This most likely means that Calibri Light is only available to people who have access to a running Windows installation. You can however build this package without Calibri Light by removing the "calibril.ttf" and "calibrili.ttf" entries in the source array.

Hmmm. I don't actually have Windows installed. I have a licence for Windows 7 Home Premium so I downloaded an install image from digitalriver and extracted all of the fonts from the relevant version of Windows. I pulled everything not just the ones listed in your package. The installation image was for SP1 so I got the updated versions, I guess. However, I know very little about Windows. (I had to download the image because the first thing I did with my laptop was wipe Windows 7 from it and I didn't think about fonts.) I do have arialblk and some other fonts not covered by your previous package but just not that weight of Calibri.

Just to clarify once more: This package will NOT build automatically, so you can't use the various AUR helpers out there. This is due to license issues (Microsoft doesn't allow the redistribution of their copyrighted fonts, so I can't host them online for makepkg's automatic source download function) - you will have to grab the files listed in the PKGBUILD source array from either a Windows 7 installation or install media, place them in the same folder as the PKGBUILD, then run makepkg manually.

mariusn: read the build instructions in the PKGBUILD file... cfr42: not sure about that. I remember not having it either when I created this package, but now they are present in my installation. Is your Windows 7 installation fully up-to-date (including optional updates)?

Same thing here: ==> Building and installing package ==> Making package: ttf-win7-fonts 7.1-7 (Wed Jun 19 09:12:28 GMT 2013) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... ==> ERROR: arial.ttf was not found in the build directory and is not a URL. ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build ttf-win7-fonts.

I don't seem to have the light weight of the Calibri font at all. Is that specific to some versions of Windows?
