DJ, There are some better choices for fonts than the one you mentioned. In fact, some can be replaced by superior fonts. First, let's list the fonts that can be replaced:
* MS Core Fonts - not free (as in freedom) because of the license, but they came from Microsoft, so what do you expect? Instead, we should use the Liberation font family, which are replacements for the three most commonly used fonts in the Core Fonts collection; Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New. If you desire, you can keep the link to the Core Fonts, just say that they are not free as in freedom. * Arphic and Firefly - both can be replaced by the Ukai and Uming fonts from Debian. They are enhanced versions of the Arphic Bkai and Bming fonts, and in fact, one of these fonts contains the Firefly gliphs. They can be found on Debian mirror sites (their names are ttf-arphic-ukai and ttf-arphic-uming) * Kochi - can be replaced by newer Sazanami fonts, also from the same maker (efont). They are newer and don't depend on propitiatory bits, making these fonts free as in freedom. * Bakmuk (sic) - can be replaced by the Un fonts, which are just generally better than the Bakmuk fonts (or what it's supposed to be spelled like, I don't care.) And as for URLs: Liberation: https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/ Ukai and Uming: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/ttf-arphic-{ukai,uming}/ (replace ftp.us.debian.org with your favorite Debian mirror) Sazanami: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/efont/files/?release_id=10087#10087 Unfonts: http://kldp.net/projects/unfonts/ I hope this will help. -- William Immendorf The ultimate in free computing.
