Okay, here's a dumb question.I need MS Core fonts to use them with XeLaTeX. I do NOT want them anywhere else.I tried two ways to get these fonts:fetchmsttfonts RPM packetmsttcore-fonts-installer from http://mscorefonts2.sourceforge.net (because fetchmsttfonts was not available)AFAIK both do the same: download MS's *.exe files, extract them to get *.ttf, and install those *.ttf system wide. After that, XeLaTeX works, so that's fine.However, for some reason these new fonts instantly infect my desktop. Before the installation process is even finished, all my Firefox/Leafpad/Terminal fonts are switched to the freshly downloaded ones.I find this utterly baffling. Why in the world installing a font automatically switches the whole system to it? Is there a way to just install the fonts and keep the desktop untouched?My OS is OpenSuSE 13.2/42.1 (on different machines), DE is XFCE.
How to install MS Core Fonts without my desktop switching to them?
