[Bastian Fuchs]

where is the ebuild with the ms true type fonts? i thought, there were a 
package in the past!? maybe the package has an unusual name and i can't find 
it!?

ps: the ms-fonts are at http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ if this is the 
problem.

the ebuild probably got removed, since microsoft doesnt have the fonts
for download available anymore.

I think the xfree-4.2.0 ebuild script downloads them from 
sf.net/projects/corefont.

But the fonts are available at http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ :

"# 020815 Microsoft pulls their fonts from their site. Fortunately, according 
to the End User License Agreement and the faq I have the right to 
redistribute the fonts in unaltered form. This right I intend to exercise."

I think, that there is no problem to have a package for the corefonts, which 
downloads the fonts from corefonts.sourceforge.net.
