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

What do you mean by "default fonts"?

Are the fonts names shown in the font list of the program?

LO seems to list the font that was use to create the document, even if 
the font is not installed on the computer it is being viewed on.

Some ways that is good, and others it is not.

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.
