cabextract ppviewer.cab
open CONSOLA*.TTF

👍 this worked perfectly, thanks!

Worked for me. Thanks a lot!

Worked great but macOS was very unhappy about it. Strong warnings about issues with the fonts.

I had the same warnings on macOS, however working inside a folder '~/consolas' instead of '/tmp' worked fine, and made cleaning up easier too (though sudo rm -r ~/consolas was required, probably due to attributes/permissions on the extracted files).

PowerPointViewer.exe: no valid cabinets found

All done, errors in processing 1 file(s)

pls help

@nvcken I had the same issue. Just downloaded the PowerPointViewer.exe from here, put it besides vistafonts-installer script, removed the download part from the script and run it. Worked for me.

@amirkarimi it worked well, thank you very much.
