I have managed install ms fonts using the following process.

I have used the following rpms :

msttcorefonts-2.0.1.noarch.rpm
chkfontspath-1.10.1-7.mdv2011.0.i586.rpm
xfs-1.1.1-2.mdv2011.0.i586.rpm

other dependencies are available on the Mageia -2 DVD.

So now my libreoffice writer has - noew times roman , arial , etc

Don't know if there is a better way .

cheers

You could try to just install it directly via

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh --nodeps http://elders.princeton.edu/data/puias/unsupported/5/i386/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm

You can ingnore the message about "[...] /usr/sbin/chkfontpath: Directory or File not found"

EDIT:

I have used the following rpms :

chkfontspath-1.10.1-7.mdv2011.0.i586.rpm
xfs-1.1.1-2.mdv2011.0.i586.rpm

[...]

Don't know if there is a better way .

Please have a look at my instructions, those two packages you used are not needed.
