Specifically, I'd make the following substitutions from old-style Windows fonts to free fonts (I offered multiples where they're very similar in look and/or metrics.)<BR/><BR/>Arial -> FreeSans, Liberation Sans, Caslon Roman, URW Helvetica or Nimbus Sans<BR/><BR/>Times New Roman -> FreeSerif, Liberation Serif, Linux Libertine or Nimbus Roman (or Gentium if you want something a little more Garamondesque)<BR/><BR/>Georgia -> Bitstream Vera Serif or DejaVu Serif<BR/><BR/>Trebuchet MS -> Lucida Sans<BR/><BR/>Lucida Console -> Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, Liberation Mono, Lucida Sans Typewriter<BR/><BR/>Courier New -> FreeMono, URW Courier<BR/><BR/>Book Antiqua/Palatino -> URW Palladio/Palatino <BR/><BR/>Tahoma -> DejaVu Sans Condensed or Toga Sans<BR/><BR/>Verdana -> Bitstream Vera Sans or DejaVu Sans<BR/><BR/>So there's really no need to be downloading pirated Vista fonts. I don't think the absence of common fonts is really an issue for free software anymore, just the lack of proprietary font names.raindog469http://www.blogger.com/profile/05441663756006019167noreply@blogger.com
