I can not find how to install MS Fonts.

Any help? If possible, step to step for Fedora 42 Silverblue

The packge you want is mscorefonts2.

Install supporting packages with sudo dnf install curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig

Install the fonts with sudo rpm -i https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm

Rebuild the font cache with sudo fc-cache -fv

Look for msttcorefont in the output from above, or check font-viewer if you’re on GNOME or System Settings → Text & Fonts → Font Management, if you’re on KDE.

Edited for regular Fedora. See @siosm posts for Silverblue/Kinoite.

For a nice GUI solution, try Install Font Downloader on Linux | Flathub

OK, I tried to make a sysext for it but damned it’s not a straightforward one due to the EULA :frowning: .
