I just installed MS fonts by using Ben's bootstrap RPM.
For some reason I could not get these fonts to appear in the font
selection of gnome terminal. (This is just a one example)
Does anybody have an idea what is getting wrong?

Hmmm I tried Bens rpm, which didn't work somehow. Then I remembered this
project:
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/
Which had a spec-file which looked surprisingly familiar with the slight
difference that it worked fine. So that's what I am using.
