Microsoft Core Fonts

sudo eopkg bi --ignore-safety https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getsolus/3rd-party/master/desktop/font/mscorefonts/pspec.xml
sudo eopkg it mscorefonts*.eopkg;sudo rm mscorefonts*.eopkg

I know I'm getting ahead of your deprecation schedule, whatever that may be, but I use (need for work) and install mscorefont package in every solus installation I do. MSCorefonts are not available in Flatpak, or at lease I couldn't find them. Trying to help; this is not a complaint or request. Thanks.

@brent111 grab the pspec file, and you can easily update it locally and build them whenever they get updates. If you have any issues updating them, jump in the Packaging channel #solus-packaging:matrix.org and ask.

Yeah the pspec stuff is far from magic. Once Serpent and Solus merge I think it'll be even easier as I've heard Ikey talk about having source packages like these are that can be easily built by users.
