Description Santiago Ruiz 2007-10-24 21:35:14 UTC 
When attempting to run Fetchmsttfonts.sh from the Yast Online Update Utility I don't get any results: the installer seems to do it but then you can't find the fonts in any application as in worked in OpenSuse 10.2.

I'm using QT Yast in KDE.

Is cabextract installed here? If it is not it's a duplicate of Bug #327523.
Comment 2 Santiago Ruiz 2007-10-25 11:05:24 UTC 
It is. But I've new information thanks to your comment.

The first time I ran the script I didn't have cabextract installed, but it ran with no error (apparently).

Then I install Wine, so cabextract was installed too.

After that, I saw that microsoft fonts wasn't working so I went to the Update Utillity to reinstall them: since then, I can't do anything with that script:
- If I try to update the SH, after press "OK" and accept the EULA it runs the Suse Config and the program closes without saying anything else and without installing the fonts neither
- If I try to Remove the SH, the program closes immediately after press OK so I can't reinstall it.

So, I suppose the only way to fix this is reinstalling opensuse completely :(

No, of course you don’t have to reinstall!

Just download the fonts from sourceforge (that is where Fetchmsttfonts
gets them from) and copy them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype. That’ all.
