Description Santiago Tabares 2002-08-24 01:43:06 UTC

This ebuild downloads the MS Truetype core fonts for the web from sourceforge  
(proyect url=corefonts.sourceforge.net), unpacks it using cabextract and  
installs them in the proper directories.  
Woohoo!!! My first ebuild ;) 
 
Please, send me any suggestions.

Comment 3 Santiago Tabares 2002-08-24 02:41:04 UTC

I just found out that xfree install this fonts. But it doesn't include the  
tahoma font.  
  
Apart from that, shouldn't the fonts be distributed in it original form? 
Look here: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/faq8.htm

If you have Xfree installed, you can read the eula here:
