I've reviewed the licence, and I'm afraid it's a bit more bothered than that of the ms core fonts for the web: "You may use the software only to view and print files created with Microsoft Office software. You may not use the software for any other purpose.". If I would include this into the msttcorefonts package this would severely limit the possibilities with these core fonts, that are currently free to be used for whatever purpose. Hence, I'm afraid that it's not possible. Thijs
