Dealing With Microsoft Proprietary Fonts

From Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols' excellent blog.

" The really big problem in document formats is what's going to become the next office document format: Microsoft's proprietary Open XML or OpenOffice's ODF (Open Document Format). A far more minor but nonetheless very annoying problem is what do you do about Microsoft's ClearType Collection typefaces: Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia and Corbel?

These were introduced in Office 2007 and Vista. Not only are they new and--need I say it?--proprietary, they aren't simply in addition to Microsoft existing proprietary fonts--Arial, Time New Roman, etc.--they replace them. That means not only are Linux and OpenOffice users stuck with semi-indecipherable text, so are users of older versions of Windows and Microsoft Office.

It's enough to make you think that Microsoft wants to force you to upgrade!

Fortunately, there is a way around the funny font problem."
