Alec Leamas, re support of Nicholas Chauvet's suggestion,
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2483#c14

That kind of sums up ALL of the rpms already out there.  Except for mine, they
are all spec only distributions.  Have a look at my webpage,
http://mscorefonts2.sourceforge.net/, it lists off all the other spec files.

ok, the only part missing is the part where the spec file makes the user read
the eula.  none of the spec files do that, you just download the spec file
using wget or curl, and then rpmbuild it, eula-less.

note that the spec file would be large.  the functionality i split out into a
separate shell script would be folded back in to the spec file, cause who wants
to wget two files when one will do.  also, to the best of my knowledge none of
the spec files correctly handle both xft and x core font systems, nor do they
install the new set of fonts from microsoft.  ideally you'd select the best of
the monster spec files, insert some forced eula reading stuff, back port the
font system stuff from my script, and the new set of fonts, and post it
somewhere, not rpmfusion, since rpmfusion doesn't publish spec files.

Noa Resare has a sourceforge site, and while he's not willing to work on the
spec file, he does seem to be willing to host one provided by somebody else. 
His webpage is http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/.
