Yes I vaguely recall telling Office it could install its truetype fonts and Crossover telling me where it put them. So Just FYI -- linux's default font support is kind of yucky. If you add those fonts you'll even find some of your java guis get smoother. I didn't realize where it had come from until you brought it up. Currently most distros package these kludged bitmap fake implementaion of true type fonts. While I hope a better solution comes, and we will certainly make the normal default fonts work, you just may want to consider installing them. (which is totally irrelevant and off topic ;-) )
