Just my $0.02:

I'd really urge you guys to *not* remove the ttf-ms-fonts package.  I 
use those fonts for just about everything on my boxes!

Granted, someone could start supporting the package in AUR, and I guess 
I could live with that if I had to.  But I'd be much happier to have 
them be officially supported.
