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).

@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.
