[Description Sudrien 2006-02-22 11:41:37 UTC]

An ebuild, based off corefonts, which installs the fonts from the following packages:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/OfficeXPStandard/ie_ja/1/W98NT42KMe/EN-US/ie_ja.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/OfficeXPStandard/ie_ko/1/W98NT42KMe/EN-US/ie_ko.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/OfficeXPStandard/ie_zhc/1/W98NT42KMe/EN-US/ie_zhc.exe
http://download.microsoft.com/download/OfficeXPStandard/ie_zht/1/W98NT42KMe/EN-US/ie_zht.exe

Legal standing: I don't know.

Result: MS Hei, MS Song, MS Gothic, GulimChe, MingLiU fonts

MS Mincho would be a nice addition.

Trustees, can you check the legal status of this? It shouldn't be an issue as the fonts are downloaded by users rather than us, but I'd like to be sure.

RESTRICT="fetch mirror" should cover it, whatever the license may be.  The only real issue is finding out what license, if any, these are released under.

The .EXE files contain this (found via strings output)

Well, that covers it, then.  CANTFIX.
