MS Fonts not loaded in Gnome

[jimoe666]

opensuse v11.2
linux 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop x86_64

The freebie MS fonts are not loaded in v11.2 with the Gnome desktop. (This is a new installation, not an upgrade from an earlier version.)

Is this normal?

Are you sure?
How did you install them?

[jimoe666]

I didn't install them. In the past the fonts were loaded automagically during one of the update phases, or maybe during OS installation.

There was something about a <fetchmsttfont.sh> script somewhere, but I cannot find it on the computer.

Hi
It's called pullin-msttf-fonts. It can be run manually as;

sudo sh /var/adm/update-scripts/fetchmsttfonts-11.2-6.6.12-fetchmsttfonts.sh.txt

Personally I find Liberation fonts better. But that's just my opinion

That was it. Thank you!

Ooh! I have those installed. I'll take a look. Thanks!

I tried to install these more than once and these instructions worked - thanks.
