Distro with Microsoft Fonts???
 
Is there a Linux distro that comes packaged with Microsoft fonts so I don't have to play games to download them?

Gentoo
emerge corefonts

You can get the fonts for any distro tho... Easy to install with the distros I've tried...

arch has them prepackaged, also. it's as easy as:

# pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts

and they're installed.

I got a friend to copy them from their TT fonts directory from Windows XP. They work fine on the Linux distros that I run.
