YI was asking for help installing legacy fonts
Yms core fonts
Pi don't think i have to put sprinkles on every response when i'm talking about something like microsoft fonts
Pit's a very impersonal subject
KPez was very direct, but their answer is accurate. There is no RPM for you to install to use those fonts in Linux I'm afraid
Ywell, np
Ythx for the awnser
KFor wine you have our various tools, and I'm afraid that's really it
Peven the RPM you have is ineffectual
Pwe have 20 years of progress under our belt and that's one of the things that got blown away
P(was in a game round)
I don't disagree - not saying you do. But 2 requests came in, and the answer wasn't "not sprinkled" instead were just more on the side of "no you're wrong"
but like, sometimes people may have specific requirements you may not meet/understand

Pand then they have to accept no for an answer
Pbut - w/e just imo tho
Pthat's not a me problem
P¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pdepends if you're here to be a helping member of the community or to be condescending to prove a point?
Pif i am stating facts i can't be held accountable for their existence and i am not obligated to deliver knowledge with a vanilla milkshake in tow
PI mean, facts, but maybe facts that aren't important? because he may have a need that superscedes this
Pright but then he isn't going to skirt around facts by using bazzite or any other RPM based distro that's been updated in the last 15 years
P
Pif walk into a tuner shop for modern cars and they tell me they can't work on my PT Cruiser i don't chimp out
Pi just accept that i need to go elsewhere if i want work done on my PT Cruiser
Pbecause that's what you get for owning a PT Cruiser
Psame deal here. if you really need the fonts you have to rip the modern ones yourself and linux software being built on corefonts originally was already a form of idiocy
Pit's really not my fault and i'm not going to feel bad about bad software developers having their stuff break on modern systems
Psome works suck (idk if that's actually the case here, just a reasonable explination/botd) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pright but then you wouldn't be looking for the 2003 truetype core fonts
Pthey'd get mad at you for that
Pthat's literally not helpful if you plan to ship a document with that font
Psome legacy system bs they gotta support or something, idk - or maybe they just want to be retro and put it in some new game; who knows
Pit doesn't even render properly on modern windows either
Pbecause it's from 2003
PIn 2018 I had to support a system that only ran on windows 97
P¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pregardless
Ptrying to use those fonts on a modern OS will break things even if they were originally meant to be using it
Pif it's due to supporting legacy software those developers were stupid and i'm not gonna sugarcoat it
PI've never been disagreeing/arguing that part, just saying to give people botd/empathy on requests - that's all I'm saying
Pgonna go back to playing tho - safe night
Pyou can rationalize it as empathy when you realize i am pissed off that a decision some impotent dev probably made 20 years ago is wasting people's time now
Pthat's still assuming their why - if you're really concerned on why it's the wrong thing to do, ask why they're trying
Pwe scream from the rooftops "don't use microsoft fonts in linux" and then we have to support the users they created by ignoring us for years down the line
Pit goes both ways
Jyou can also just ignore it after you've given the answer
Jwho cares maybe they're making a 2000's era hobby throwback project for all we know
Pi'm not going to ignore being interrogated about my intentions i'm not a coward
Jwell, do what you want, just don't bring that negative vibe here. It's just fonts the world isn't going to explode, we're not bringing that old school linux vibe here.
Pi think you maybe missed the part where i didn't say anything beyond
- no you can't use the rpm anymore
- you need to rip it from the iso and use modern fonts to work with modern distros
until somebody else made it personal and started interrogating me about the subject

YI never meant to spark this discussion, sorry
YI just wanted some fonts
