[fonts] MS Vista fonts

Question

If someone wanted to download the vistafonts.zip, which has been "leaked" from MS and is floating around the internet, one could, theoretically use the following PKGBUILD and install file to install them.  Not that I would encourage that of course - but it's up to you:

pkgname=ttf-vista-fonts
pkgver=0.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A selection of new MS Vista Fonts"
url=""
license=""

install=ttf-vista-fonts.install

build() {
cd $startdir/src
mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
for font in {Calibri,Cambria,Candara,Consolas,Constantia,Corbel} ; do
cp $startdir/src/$font/* $startdir/pkg/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
done
# arg 1: the new package version
post_install() {
basedir=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
cd $basedir
echo "Rebuilding font cache..."
fc-cache -fv
echo "...done."
for dir in TTF
do

cd $dir
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
rm -f encodings.dir
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir encodings.dir
echo "...done."
cd $basedir
done
echo "Fonts refreshed!"
# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
basedir=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
cd $basedir
echo "Rebuilding font cache..."
fc-cache -fv
echo "...done."
for dir in TTF
do
echo "Rebuilding font index in $dir..."
cd $dir
mkfontscale
mkfontdir
rm -f encodings.dir
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir encodings.dir
echo "...done."
cd $basedir
done
echo "Fonts refreshed! Press any key to exit."
# arg 1: the old package version
pre_remove() {
/bin/true
# arg 1: the old package version
post_remove() {
/bin/true
op=$1
shift
$op $*

There you go:

personally I think they are pretty nice, also I like to have a nicely build
Monospace font there, but speakiing of readability Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono definetaly outperforms Consolas at smaller sizes.
Calibri is a nice sans-serif one for small place. Candara is really well done
in my eyes, quite a pleasure to read it. While Corbel ist the bread an
butter font probably replacing Verdana.
