when I need to email an XLS or DOC to

Eventually because of these failings of OpenOffice I'm reluctantly
forced to install the MS fonts too
Red Hat solved this with the Liberation fonts that have "metric
compatibility" with Arial and Times New Roman.
This is great news! I've not heard of these Liberation fonts. The
question has to be if OpenOffice will support exporting Liberation -> MS
font names. As OO doesn't manage to export "URW Gothic L" (which looks
like Tahoma) as MS's Tahoma, just comes out in some Comic font.
Hope the Liberation fonts get added to Ubuntu soon.. although they
strike me as being similar to "Bitstream Vera Sans" that I use at the
moment on Kubuntu.
Kind regards, Jon
