To use what we call "Times New Roman" or "Arial" is illegal. We've been out of the law all that time in unix. The trick is that Times New Roman and Arial are trademarks, and you can not use these names to name something else. Of course, that includes the Nimbus family. > > I wonder if they've done their own hack to "fix" > the > > AbiWord fonts in 8.0?

Btw, I guess that they've "just" changed the name of the fonts to their real names, and removed the assumptions in AbiWord about having an "Arial" font (not so trivial).
