How can I install MS Windows fonts on Fedora 15?

,

This is slightly modified from the instructions found here (and I haven't even checked if they work):
  1. Install the chkfontpath package from ATrpms (Click on either the i686 or x86_64 package, depending on whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit machine).
  2. As root, install some packages you'll need for the following steps:
    yum install rpm-build cabextract ttmkfdir wget
    
    
  3. Download the MS Core Fonts Smart Package File:
    wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
    
    
  4. Build the Core Fonts package:
    rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
    
    
  5. Install the Core Fonts package:
    yum install --nogpgcheck /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm
