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.

Sorry, I should have looked at the script before I posted. I didn't realize the Enterprise Trial ISO that was linked in the posted PKGBUILD was on a permanent link. Certainly, that could save users (and Microsoft) a lot of bandwidth if it were dynamically mounted to access the Install.wim inside, and only extract specific files from it, rather than copying it entirely to the local filesystem.

Assuming, of course, that this particular permanent link allows random access. Worth a shot, though.

I do know I won't be using the download-ISO version for my own installs, since I keep a handy Windows 10 Pro for Workstations installation on my machine, and the fonts from it also match the PKGBUILD hashes. Doesn't mean it's not useful to actually become a stand-alone self-sufficient script that doesn't require manual intervention.

More than 24 hours later, and the Microsoft link is still valid. Its structure also suggests that it is not a temporary link:

@abouvier not really useful in this case, as the links that Microsoft gives you expire after so many accesses and after 24 hours. Maaaaybe it would work, but I doubt it.

abouvier commented on 2021-02-22 00:18 (UTC)

With httpfs2 you can mount an ISO over internet and only read the files you're interested in. It may be useful for this package.

For inspiration, here is a slightly modified PKGBUILD which downloads a Windows 10 20H2 ISO and extracts the fonts:

https://pastebin.com/6jFAKDSa

Note that this PKGBUILD only automates the steps that a user can do manually using the included instructions. The used ISO file that has the fonts is distributed by none other than Microsoft.

This requires a large download (almost 4 GB) and a large amount of temporary free disk space (almost 8 GB), although the resulting packages have their usual sizes.

@francoism90 Last update was two weeks ago, who knows when will be next And Fonts folder weight ~0.3 GB. So I need to copy them again (sometimes I'm not have so free space) or ignore pacman message about update.

francoism90 commented on 2021-02-21 08:56 (UTC)

@psydvl What is your reason using a symlink instead of copying the Fonts directory? I wouldn't recommend to use a symlink, you only need the fonts ones to build the package(s).

psydvl commented on 2021-02-21 04:26 (UTC)

My system is dual boot Win/Arch Can I only symlink Fonts directory some way without copying them?
