Mmm... didn't show on the other pages or on the test page
http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/richeditortest/rich-editor-test-book?
It's configured to show only on re_test (rich editor test) content type. If
it's considered stable I'll put it available site wide.

Totally agree :( This is what CKEditor generates:

For Arial option:
style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; "

For Courier New option:
style="font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; "

For Verdana option:
style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; "

For Times New Roman:
style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; "

That's what we can do:

To hack CKEditor font dialog to show only free fonts options. We will need
to change their styles generation for something like this:

Option Liberation Sans:
style="font-family: 'Liberation Sans', 'Arial', sans; "

Option Liberation Serif:
style="font-family: 'Liberation Serif', 'Times New Roman', times, serif; "

Option Liberation Mono:
style="font-family: 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', courier, monospace; "

Then, in my custom Drupal module for CKEditor we can add a extra CSS with
all the required fonts in a CSS3 @font-face format. This might add an extra
load on the site the first time, then the fonts are cached so no problem.

On the other thread (in documentation I think) Michael and other mentioned
the following fonts:

DejaVu
Gentium
Liberation
Libertine
Biolinum
Droid
M+

We need to define a small subset to use in the site.

Heee... I'm not sure what did you saw, for me it's pretty clear how to add
and image :S This is the screenshot of the test edit page:

Are you sure you entered http://www.libreofficeaustralia.org/node/51/edit?

Anyway, if it's not clear could you please give some advice to improve the
user interface and usability, I'm kind of lost.

Kind regards
