Description:   Opened: 2006-07-20 16:31 0000 
The corefonts package is missing file: wd97vwr32.exe which contains "tahoma"
font. This file can be downloaded from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net.
Why not to add this file to corefonts ebuild ?

And so it will be in future for license reasons.

Are you sure ? There is different file proposal in this bug: wd97vwr32.exe (not
tahoma32.exe). One can find at corefonts.sourcefogre.net:

"News

    * 060430 A long awaited overhaul. Many things are fixed, links updated.
Selects a random mirror. Uses tahoma from word 97 viewer instead of the ie6
update so no windows license is needed."

If this is right this font perhaps could be added to gentoo..

This patch adds support for the tahoma font to the corefonts ebuild. I hope
it's legal and valid :-)

if there are licensing concerns, couldn't the ebuild require a manual fetch for
tahoma's file?

i prefer the ie update file. it's megabytes smaller than the word 97 viewer and
includes tahoma's bold .ttf. word 97 only has plain and italic.

corefonts w/tahoma would be spectacular. the linux documentation project's font
howto repeatedly references and recommends tahoma:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Font-HOWTO/#desktop

I think including tahoma would be ok if the corefonts guys say so, but I'm not
including anything else than what they provide.

This is precisely what we are asking for - wd97vwr32.exe is provided by the
corefont guys. If you want to be extra safe make tahoma an optional use flag
and the distfile fetch restricted. I won't mind it that way either.

------- Comment #7 From Ryan Hill 2007-06-24 05:20:38 0000 ------- 
Fixed.  Thanks.

ppc-macos: i had to drop your keyword on the new ebuild.
  DEPEND.badindev                1
   media-fonts/corefonts/corefonts-1-r3.ebuild:
~ppc-macos(default-darwin/macos/10.4) ['x11-apps/mkfontdir',
'app-arch/cabextract']

------- Comment #8 From Fabian Groffen 2007-06-24 12:15:02 0000 ------- 
that's ok, thanks for letting us know.
