Nice link.

That was the best chart for the different OS installed fonts I have seen 
in a long while.

Yes, MS loves to change things.  Having each version of their Os include 
a different set of fonts can make things interesting for a user/business 
with multiple systems and multiple OSs.

That is why I suggested the MS Core font add-on for Linux.  It is free 
and it can serve for those people, like me, who uses Linux as its 
primary system and deals with Windows users on a daily basis.
