spec file:

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/specs/msttcore-fonts-2.1-2.spec

Source rpm:
no source rpm.  there is no source, the microsoft eula doesn't allow
distribution of the fonts with the rpm.

rpm:

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-2.1-2.noarch.rpm

========================================================================
Description:

This provides the TrueType core fonts for the web that were once
available from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/ prior
to 2002, and most recently updated in the European Union Expansion
Update circa May 2007, still available on the Microsoft website.

With this rpm the actual font cab files are downloaded from a
Sourceforge project mirror and unpacked at install time. Therefore
this package technically does not 'redistribute' the fonts.  The
fonts are then added to the core X fonts system as well as the Xft
font system.

These are the cab files downloaded:

    andale32.exe, arialb32.exe, comic32.exe, courie32.exe,
    georgi32.exe, impact32.exe, webdin32.exe, EUupdate.EXE,
    wd97vwr32.exe

These cab files are only downloaded if EUupdate.EXE cannot be
downloaded, since the EUupdate.EXE cab contains updates for
the fonts in these cabs:

    arial32.exe, times32.exe, trebuc32.exe, verdan32.exe

These are the fonts added:

    1998 Andale Mono
    2006 Arial: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
    1998 Arial: black
    1998 Comic: bold, regular
    2000 Courier: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
    1998 Impact
    2006 Times: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
    2006 Trebuchet: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
    2006 Verdana: bold, bold italic, italic, regular
    1998 Webdings

========================================================================
Fedora eligibility:
I haven't tried, but I assume licensing restrictions on the fonts would be an
issue, although the fonts are not a part of the rpm.

========================================================================
rpmlint:

========================================================================
This is my first rpmfusion package

========================================================================
I am seeking a sponsor.
[ I think that's what I'm supposed to do ]
