Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: re fonts

I had no idea the liberation fonts existed.  If they do what i hope then i will 
fairly soon be able to liberate myself from proprietary fonts :)

Tom :)

There is a file for Mandrake10 that used to install these on Pbone site:

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/15071888/dir/mandrake_10.x/com/msttcorefonts-bootstrap-0.1-4brs.noarch.rpm.html


I usually find that the Libreration fonts work just as well.

Cheers
