I’ve been using Ubuntu for the last 6 months and have recently started to try out openSUSE 11.1. I have a problem installing the MS fonts which I was hoping someone would be able to help me with. When I select the fetchmsttfonts for installation, I get the following output:

I think you need the package cabextract.
It should be a dependency for fetchmsttfonts.
From the rpm description:
Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft uses to
distribute their software and things like Windows Font Packs. cabextract can
be used to unpack these files.
Hi
It’s a problem with the server list, which I have seen on the mailing
lists. If the server doesn’t have the files the script bombs out.
You need to modify the script to delete the first two servers.
I just test the one I have and it’s working and have posted it at the
following link; http://www.nopaste.com/p/alZ9xl8xG
Just copy that and save as fetchmsttfonts then;
