Obtaining and installing the Windows fonts

  • Install p7zip from your distro's package repositories.
  • Download the Windows 8.1 Evaluation ISO using this link.
  • Open a terminal in the folder that the ISO is in and extract the "install.wim" file.
7z x 9600.17050.WINBLUE_REFRESH.140317-1640_X86FRE_ENTERPRISE_EVAL_EN-US-IR3_CENA_X86FREE_EN-US_DV9.ISO sources/install.wim
  • Next, extract the "Fonts" folder from the "install.wim" file.
7z x sources/install.wim Windows/Fonts
  • Delete unnecessary files:
rm -rf sources
rm -f Windows/Fonts/*.fon Windows/Fonts/*.ini Windows/Fonts/*.dat Windows/Fonts/*.xml
  • You should now find the fonts in the "Windows/Fonts" folder. How you install them may vary depending on your distro, but this should work in most cases:
sudo cp -r Windows/Fonts /usr/share/fonts/msfonts
fc-cache -f -v

You can now delete the ISO as well as the "Windows/Fonts" folder if you want.
