I'm trying to install Arial fonts on CentOs 7 or a fonts pack containing such fonts, preferably using a yum command. I haven't found any guides on how to go about this. Thanks!

I found the answer. It's the same as CentOs 6.

Steps below, in case the link ever stops working in future.

Switch to root user.

[geek@geeksite Desktop]$ su
Password:

Download the Microsoft core fonts rpm package.

[root@geeksite~/]# wget 

Install rpm package.

[root@geeksite~/[# rpm -Uvh msttcore-fonts-2.0-3.noarch.rpm
That’s All. 

The liberation fonts aim "at metric compatibility with Arial" and other Microsoft fonts, so yum -y list | grep -i liberation should turn up packages to install.

Install Arial fonts for CentOs with

 yum install curl cabextract xorg-x11-font-utils fontconfig

sourceforge is also a good choice:
