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 ;-) )
