Get Calibri and other new Microsoft Fonts

[LiquidExil]

Well, since this is the only forum I can post in, here goes.

 

Since finding out that I need the Calibri font for school, I set about trying to find it without paying for Microsoft Office. The fonts are included in the Microsoft OpenXML Converter package, but not installed unless the installer sees a full version of Microsoft Office Mac. SO, I wrote a quick script to download the package and extract the fonts into /Library/Fonts. Now you can view powerpoint and word files in iWork without formatting exploding due to sizing difference between Helvetica and Calibri.
