This topic and the legality occasionally occur.
Only one set of Microsoft Fonts can legally be added to Manjaro Linux.
The Microsoft Core Fonts package aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-ms-fonts.
The package dowloads the sources (self-extracting archives) for
- Andale Mono
- Arial Black
- Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Comic Sans MS (Bold)
- Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Georgia (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Impact
- Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
- Webdings
The sources originates at corefonts.sourceforge.net and is the original fonts distributed by Microsoft as freeware and they can be redistributed according to the EULA.
The sources can also be downloaded - read the license first - from www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/webfonts/
Any other package located in AUR and distributing Microsoft Windows Fonts can be considered illegal as the font author(s) (most likely) has not approved of the extraction from Windows and subsequent redistribution.

Web
CSS lets a web page creator specify a prioritized list of fonts (commonly known as a “font stack”) that a web content rendering engine, such as those used by a web browser, should use to render the text of a web page if they are available on the device on which the rendering engine is running. Web content publishers are free to specify Windows supplied fonts in their font stacks. In fact, as a web page creator you don’t even need to be a Windows licensee to include a Windows font name in a CSS font stack, as the “use” of the font occurs on the Windows device, not on your web server.
Web fonts are fonts that are hosted on a web server. You do not have rights to:
- copy fonts from a Windows installation to a web server, a process known as web font “self-hosting”.
- convert the font to the formats typically associated with web fonts, such as the WOFF or WOFF2 format.
Many Windows fonts are available for web use through Monotype’s Fonts.com web font service, some are also available via Type Network’s WebType.com. Other Windows fonts may be available from their original creator.

Redistribution and extended rights
Apart from the document embedding rights described previously, you may not redistribute the Windows fonts. You may not copy them to other computers or servers, and you may not convert them to other formats, including bitmap formats, or modify them.
