Fonts Re: [libreoffice-users] Albany ? Thorndale ?

Hi :)
Fonts are tricky.  Luckily someone on this list can often help people find an appropriate font.  
The OS should have a lot of free fonts included and it's usually possible to get a few more through 
searches.  MS core fonts can usually be added as a single package.  For others you need to do a 
search, avoid them, pay up or find someone else that has already done a search for nearest 
equivalents.  

Apols and regards from
Tom :)

Created a new presentation under LO 3.4.4; did it in a brand-new user account, 
to make sure I did not bring along anything left over from the days I used 
Sun's Star Office.

Surprise, the default fonts for both the slides (Thorndale) and the notes 
(Albany) are not installed on my box, and worse, they do not exist for free 
download but must be purchased.

I read on the net that the problem is a carry over from the days of Star 
Office, and later Open Office.

Should not Libre Office get rid of those relics of the past, and put as 
defaults some fonts that are available for free ?
 
Cheers,
 
Ron.
