Microsoft fonts on Linux
Do you guys install the Microsoft core fonts on your Linux systems?
Many years ago, I'd install them but soon found that they caused me more pain and grief than they did pleasure, and the Linux fonts look far better to me anyway, so I never install them anymore.
How about the rest of you?oz

I do install corefonts, Verdana is a truly readable font on a screen

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

I've never seen a need for them, so I never installed them.

Err, 'Sometimes'. Depends on what I'm doing I suppose. I've put them on computers that will be editing a lot of MS-Office files in LibreOffice or OpenOffice.
