Hi, thanks for this. Just to make sure, I have this rpm installed: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f17.html#ttf
It just installs the font files to /usr/share/fonts/msttcore
The fonts are available for X (like in font manager) but ain't available for instance in xfontsel.
If I use your package it would be better?
