Well, as is usually the case, I don't have the whole answer to that. My
biggest concern was giving people the idea that it might be OK to copy
Windows fonts and then having them get into trouble. My understanding
is that many of the Microsoft fonts cannot be used except on a machine
that has a valid licensed copy of Windows.
(Usually those discussions reference a dual boot setup, but I don't know
that Windows would have to be installed, only that a valid licensed copy
existed for that machine.)
For other fonts, I have little or no knowledge. (Although I think some
of the Postscript fonts are proprietary, which is why someone has
created a non-proprietary alternative.)
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
