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

@defcon please read PKGBUILD and previous comments. Thanks.

Can't build this package. ==> FEHLER: arial.ttf wurde nicht im build Verzeichnis gefunden und ist keine URL. arial.ttf was not found in the build tree and is no URL I hope the translation was ok :D

thankyou reflexing. i dont understand why manually replacing the md5sums array didnt work before but now its working. i probably screwed up somewhere. happy coding!

@pmatts 1) remove md5sums array from PKGBUILD (delete all the strings completely): md5sums=('3c9390eb37dd4ab8c670ecd71feb7f71' ... 'bceb1884fcf8c7b569cf64602ddc8ef0' SKIP) 2) regenerate them with makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD 3) install needed generated packages

So i updated the checksums with makepkg -g and now get ERROR: Integrity checks (md5) differ in size from the source array. I guess I've got more (or less) fonts than the package expects. I guess this means I have to do a diff on the package and my font dir... heres a script to see the differences #!/bin/bash source PKGBUILD echo "" echo "--------------------- font array ---------------------" for font in "${_ttf_ms_win8[@]}"; do echo -n "$font: " [[ -f "$font" ]] && echo "ok." || echo "############## missing ##############" done echo "--------------------- font files ---------------------" for fontfile in *.ttf; do in_array=false echo -n "$fontfile: " for font in "${_ttf_ms_win8[@]}"; do if [[ $font == $fontfile ]]; then in_array=true break fi done [[ $in_array = true ]] && echo "in array." || echo "############## not in array ##############" done I have WAY more fonts than this package looks for! But then again I'm probably doing everthing completely wrong because there are no instructions.

I just discovered by experimentation that it seems to work if you simply extract/copy all individual fonts from the entire windows font directory into the PKGBUILD directory as is. However, my licence.rtf does not pass checks...

ERROR: arial.ttf was not found in the build directory and is not a URL To answer a previous comment: I am unable to supply the fonts as instructed by the PKGBUILD because the PKGBUILD contains no clear instructions on how to do that. It states: "You need the files listed in the source=() array. Place them in the same directory as this PKGBUILD file, then run makepkg." Scrolling down reveals the source array: source=("${_ttf_ms_win8[@]}" "${_arabic[@]}" "${_hebrew[@]}" "${_sea[@]}" "${_korean[@]}" "${_japanese[@]}" "${_zh_cn[@]}" "${_zh_tw[@]}" "${_indic[@]}" "${_thai[@]}" "${_other[@]}" 20-ttf-ms-win8-japanese.conf 20-ttf-ms-win8-korean.conf 20-ttf-ms-win8-zh_cn.conf 20-ttf-ms-win8-zh_tw.conf license.rtf) No further instructions. Notable error: The following are bash arrays and not files: "${_ttf_ms_win8[@]}" "${_arabic[@]}" "${_hebrew[@]}" "${_sea[@]}" "${_korean[@]}" "${_japanese[@]}" "${_zh_cn[@]}" "${_zh_tw[@]}" "${_indic[@]}" "${_thai[@]}" "${_other[@]}" However, other than the lack of instructions and their inaccuracy, this looks like excellent work!
