Re: Please provide msfontextract package

[Kevin B.Hendricks <kevin.hendricks@sympatico.ca>]

Hi,

cabextract is not LGPL and can't be part of OOo so we used libmspack 
which is LGPL to create msfontextract.

But if you install msttcorefonts at the core os level then you will not 
ever need msfontextract since OOo will automatically pick up the system 
truetype fonts.

Perhaps I could ask Laurent to check if msfontextract exists and if not 
simply not show the ms tt fonts as a download possibility.

That way you won't need msfontextract at all on a system where you know 
msttcorefonts have already been installed.
