on that page ARE the core windows fonts ...under "fonts" in executable format. you execute those in wine and it will install and register the core fonts

To install the corefonts in Linux itself you would use
the RPM

Bryann



how the wine loads the fonts? you know, the /usr/share/fonts already gets many fonts files, and after i installed what you mentioned MS core fonts, how the fonts loading procedure will be interfered?

thanks.
