Post-edit: Please do remember this is 3rd party software not OM software. Anytime a user installs 3rd party software this becomes the users responsibility. As such OM is not responsible for any consequences of installing this or any 3rd party software. Does not mean we won’t help with issues if we can just that it is not our code so we are limited as to what we can do.
Report on my test in OMLx 4.1:
With this command the process did stuck after a while, console had to be closed by forcing closing and it left an ‘rpm’ instance running preventing the normal user to logout the desktop or poweroff the system.
Worked OK here. Be sure curl, cabextract, and fontconfig are installed. They also list xorg-x11-font-utils as a requires but OM does not have that so I installed this with ‘rpm -ihv --nodeps’. Edited first post to include the requires.
This is an installer package so it has to download each font from internet then install each one to system so it does take a bit of time and there is a point where it will appear stuck but it is actually “extracting fonts from PowerPointViewer.exe directly into /usr/share/fonts/msttcore”. This is the entire output on a notebook computer here of this install: mscorefonts-installer.txt (10.2 KB)
Also I do not know what consequences there may be to doing this without the xorg-x11-font-utils.
Well then we can say it did not work well for you and thus may not work well for everyone. So users beware.
This should be obvious but whenever user installs something with --nodeps there could be problems usually whatever you are tying to install simply does not work.
