Microsoft Core TrueType Fonts for SUSE 10?

I want to install the MS TT Core fonts for SUSE Linux, but I cannot find any packages in YaST for this. Being new to SUSE I'm not sure how to obtain this. Can anybody guide me?

Hi,

Are you running dual boot system - maybe winXP. If so you can import MS TT fonts from there.

I'm running dual boot, but I found out that there's a patch/package for this MSTTCore fonts in the online YaST update which I just discovered.

Thanks for the reply.

In the YOU, that one only gives you the cores, like Garamond, Times New Roman, Comic Sans, etc. It is useful, especially considering most .docs use those, so if you still have need for those, they will display much better.

Yes, those fonts are enough actually. Verdana, Times New Roman, Comic Sans MS are the ones I'm looking for.
