Add Microsoft fonts to the quick query list #79

Closed trmdi closed 2 years ago

I think Microsoft fonts like Arial, Tahoma... are widely used. So it would be greate if opi provides a quick way to get them, similar to Google Chrome, Teamviewer...

This would only work with opi if there was an RPM provided by microsoft, which I would be really surprised about. I'm afraid there is no legal way to integrate this into opi.

You might want to have a look what the archlinux guys do about this (to manually install them on your system):

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ttf-ms-fonts Here they download some old fonts from a sourceforge project, extract the .exe files using bsdtar and install the .ttf fonts.

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ttf-ms-win11 Here they copy the fonts from a windows installation (or install media), which is forbidden by EULA (but EULA is invalid in some countries).
