I've no idea if this totally works, patches (preferred) or suggestions are welcome.
This package is based on ttf-ms-win11 and ttf-ms-win10-auto. Like it's predecessor, ttf-ms-win10-auto, it differs from ttf-ms-win11 in that it automatically downloads the fonts from Microsoft, if possible without downloading the entire ISO file.
It uses newer and faster httpdirfs, so downloads usually aren't that slow. For reference, it takes less than 2 minutes to download fonts then build and install the package on my system which gets maximum internet speed of ~5MiB/s.
Please ignore any 'ln' related errors, that is expected behaviour.
[Copied from ttf-ms-win10-auto]: If Polkit is not available or it does not allow the user to use udisks, the entire ISO file will be downloaded and install.wim will be extracted. A check ensures that enough temporary disk space is available, which can be up to twice the size of the ISO file. This can happen if either Polkit or an authentication agent is not running, or when a user is logged in remotely (e.g. through SSH).

You apparently need to be a member of the
disk
group to mount a filesystem as an otherwise unprivileged user.And log out and back in again.
