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

@reflexing yeah, i think so

@Noiwex This question was asked before. Please look in the PKGBUILD. It's illegal to provide actual font files, you must acquire them yourself from original Windows 8 or other way (I heard there's a torrent somewhere).

I noticed now that the fontnames in the ttc files changes with different locale settings. I got a german system so it may not work on other locale settings. For example every "Fett" in the german fontname should be "Bold" in english.

If you are interested, here is a PKGBUILD with all fonts I got on my fresh win8 install: http://pastebin.com/1W2jwkL6 Fontforge had some problems with some ttc files. So they are commented out.

@GutenYe done.

reflexing commented on 2012-09-16 16:58 (UTC)

@GutenYe yeah, sure. My monitor broke today, so it will take some time. I forgot to mention lack of any Asian fonts in PKGBUILD. Ideally, package should contain all Windows 8 fonts, I will add them when Windows 8 will be officially released.

@reflexing Can you please include chinese fonts? Windows 8 include below chinese fonts by default. simfang.ttf: FanSong,仿宋 simkai.ttf: KaiTi,楷体 simsun.ttc: SimSun,宋体 simhei.ttf: SimHei,黑体 simsun.ttc: NSimSun,新宋体 msyh.ttc: Microsoft YaHei UI Microsoft YaHei,微软雅黑 an updated PKGBUILD includes chinese fonts at https://gist.github.com/3732175

@Vash63 Did you run shell script from PKGBUILD? I accidentally forgot to remove license copying line from there, and Microsoft forgot the same pre-release license exactly at same location, so license got copied together with fonts. The license file, bundled with PKGBUILD in tarball, is fine.

Vash63 commented on 2012-08-17 01:07 (UTC)

Had to update the last MD5 (the one for the license) to '39074f93453a278b3990db3927126b85' to use with the RTM build, otherwise works great.
