FAQ, please read before posting:

  1. I get an error that the sources cannot be downloaded: Please read the instructions on the top of the PKGBUILD.

  2. Some fonts are missing in my copy of Windows (e.g., holomdl2, corbel, chandra, ...): It seems that Microsoft distributes some fonts only with some Windows versions. You can just comment out the corresponding line in the PKGBUILD and then build with "makepkg --skipchecksums".

  3. Some fonts have different checksums: We keep the checksums synchronized with our own Windows installations that are regularly updated. Different Windows versions, different ISOs etc. may contain fonts in different versions/variants. Just build the package using "makepkg --skipchecksums".

  4. Why does the version not correspond to the latest Windows 10 build: If fonts have not changes between builds, there is no reason to change the version number of this package.

  5. Why are some fonts (e.g., traditional chinese, japanese etc.) not included here, not even in the corresponding split packages: We currently only include fonts that are installed on a standard Windows installation, without additional feature-on-demand packages (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/fonts/windows_10_font_list).

Please refrain from posting links to the font files required to build this package. Microsoft fonts are protected by copyright and neither we nor you are allowed to distribute them. This package only provides an approach to cleanly integrate the fonts into an Arch Linux system provided that you have a licensed copy of Windows 10. Otherwise you can use the ttf-ms-fonts package to install publicly available fonts. If you post comments intending to distribute the fonts via this page we need to contact administrators in order to remove your comment.

Interesting. The one file I didn't check. :( Bevan, any ideas? I've got to head out right now.

@Scimmia: There is no license.rtf within the install.wim file anymore!

@sultanoswing, make sure you have the version of Windows specified in the pkgver.

sultanoswing commented on 2015-11-12 22:33 (UTC)

Since the update today, a whole bunch of the integrity checks fail.

Great stuff. Just remember to read the PKGBUILD!

@Scimmia - no, upgrade from Win 7. Same thing on two different machines oddly enough, but luckliy not on a third, which does have the full 400MB+ font folder in the specified location (I have no idea where they are on the other two machines, as there is only ~300k in the Windows/Fonts folder, with most of the files being links instead. Weird, but not a problem with this delightful package!

@sultanoswing, OEM installation? OEMs can screw with a lot of things.

sultanoswing commented on 2015-11-06 11:32 (UTC)

Cheers - figured that out, and it was a problem with my Win 10 Fonts directory not having all the files for some reason. Now sorted thanks!

Bevan commented on 2015-11-06 11:25 (UTC)

@sultanoswing: This error will be shown if one of the expected files are missing. Unfortunately makepkg's output is not very helpful at that point. Please have a look at the lines above the error. They show which files were found. Comparing that with the file list here in AUR (or in the .SRCINFO file) you will be able to see which file would come next and so which one is causing the error.

Get error on "makepkg": ERROR: Unknown download protocol: file Aborting... Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I've copied all the fonts from my Win 10 /Fonts directory and the licence.rtf file to the same directory as PKGBUILD.
