In one particular document, the font is Times New Roman. When I open it in SO, all the apostrophes show up as question marks. I noticed SO indicates the font as Times. If I change the font to any other font, the apostrophes show up correctly. Thinking this was a font problem, I scanned my box for any *.ttf files. I did find some in /usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype/ but none that look like Times New Roman. What do I need to do to make the document look correctly in SO? Is it just a matter of copying the appropriate ttf file from a windows box to my truetype dir? Are there any legal or patent issues with that? In general, are the standard Microsoft fonts freely available for use on a linux box? I couldn't find any websites that clearly explained this. I found some links on the web about Microsoft Core Fonts but Microsoft's site says they are no longer making the core fonts available for free download. I appreciate your help. -- Amy Tanner amy at real-time.com
