Even better than DOC, I can embed the font in a RTF file! So it

Actually I was wondering if OpenOffice could see the Arial Narrow font

Here's a mini-FAQ I just made, BTW:

Do the Windows fonts allow installable embedding? Based on my copy of XP...
Arial v3.00 YES!
And looking into matters a bit, Symbol wouldn't be missed too much

Scott Ritchie: there were al kinds of problems with ugly fonts being
filled in into the Tahoma-Bold font, e.g. in web browsers, creating ugly

impact, so you can't package it just for Steam and not use it in e.g.

What sort of problems? Even having a very stupid bold that didn't

to put it somewhere else. Either

The addition of Tahoma has been reverted again in 2.1. The problem was
that Tahoma did not include a bold variant, and this causes far more
problems than the availability of Tahoma solves.
