Microsoft released their 'web fonts' under a free (as in beer) license 
several years ago and you can find them at

	http://fontconfig.org/webfonts

So, even without a MS license, you can at least get these common fonts 
specified in web pages.

They can't be included in a Linux distribution, but anyone can make them 
available for free as long as the license is obeyed.
