Getting many ttf fonts into Linux Pardon me if this is an old idea; it is a new one to me, provided a welcome solution to the font problem in Linux, and may be interesting for others to try. I happen to have a cupboard of legitimate Windows licenses, from win 95, eight Win NT 4.0 licenses and more. This makes me a license user of the fonts. I have moved the fonts from my Windows XP to my RH Fedora 3, with excellent results; everything in true type. Because many web site developers specify font names in their HTML or CSS, and these are often Windows font names, these sites do not render well in Linux with no more than open source fonts. If you don't have an Windows license, you can often get an old license very cheaply. It is ofen possible to get one from people who are dumping old machines. At the annual computer expo in Eindhoven (near where I live), there are many dealers dumping old software. Old Windows packets can be purchased for a few tens of Euros. I suppose, if you want to have a legitimate license before using the Windows fonts, this is probably the cheapest way to do this. Benjamin
