Hello! I am wondering what is the REAL difference between ttf-ms-core vs ttf-ms-win10? they both look the same, I am a bit confused because I need this for my studies
What is ttf-ms-core
?
The difference between ttf-ms-fonts
and ttf-ms-win10
is that the former is a copy of the fonts that Microsoft made available in the past. The latter is a way to install the fonts you extract from Windows 10.
Thank you! one more thing, is there any consequence if I install both or only one of them?
They conflict. If you try to install ttf-ms-win10
it will ask to remove ttf-ms-fonts
Thanks!
Just for future reference, you can get a lot of information about a package with yay -Si packagename
For example, here is what yay -Si ttf-ms-win10
returns:
