Package is not broken. You can't build this with yaourt or pamac. It must be built with makepkg after obtaining the fonts manually.

Can you add ttf-font to provides again? It seems to have disappeared.

@nucleartide checksum is OK, it's that Microsoft updated the font. This was discussed already, please read comments.

The PKGBUILD has the wrong md5sum for 'seguisym.ttf' - line 456 should say af96fbf7096b608480f0df146bfb8646 instead of 523ab078aac307d0e576a80bc155d32e. At the very least, this allows me to makepkg properly. :)

@beta990 good questions. Yes, it's not needed — "makepkg --pkg ttf-ms-win8" will make just the Windows 8.1 core fonts package which should cover even more than "Core TTF Fonts from Microsoft". Personally I have only "ttf-ms-win8" base package installed on my machines. I made different packages all by myself, the logic can be wrong, but I tried to do my best. Look at the comments in PKGBUILD file to see what fonts are in the "-other" package.

Thanks for providing this package. :D A stupid question; It's not needed to install all the languages right? Could you make it optional, if so. :) What does the *-other package provides btw.?
