Bug appears in Mageia Control Center (drakxtools-13.49-1.mga1, running under kernel 2.6.38.5-desktop586-1.mga). Pressing the panel results in an error message to the effect that no fonts are available, despite the fact that the Tainted repo has been enabled.
I just tested it, and it worked here, after I mounted the filesystems containing a windows installation. The get windows function does not download anything, it only looks in mounted filesystems for fonts installed in a windows installation. I think this bug should be closed as fixed-invalid, as it's working as intended.

You're right, I mounted my Windows partition, and the function worked fine. Thanks for not adding RTFM! Of course, I had confused the intended function with the facility to "install msttcorefonts" available in most other distros. An error message that said "no Windows file system mounted" or something along those lines would probably have been more informative.
Changing the priority/severity, adding rpm, as I think this is now a valid, but low prioity bug report requesting a change of the error message from "no fonts found", to "no mounted windows file systems found, to import the fonts from", or something to that affect.

About half a month ago, the bug was still there in cauldron, so this doesn't seem to be a forgotten resolved bug

Pinging. because nothing happened to this report since more than 3 months ago, and it still has the status NEW or REOPENED. @ Olivier Please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
3 months later, any news on this bug?
Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja

Still valid. It won't get fixed for Mga2, so only putting (MGA2) on the whiteboard to show this isn't an old cauldron bug that was last seen a year ago
Whiteboard: (none) => (MGA2)
Summary: drakfont does not work if the windows system partition isn't mounted beforehand => drakfont should tell to mount the windows system partition after choosing to get the windows fonts
