 Actually, it does.

Fie upon both of you, now I have to work it out before my talk tomorrow

  Can anyone tell me what was used to generate the web pages for that
  presentation?
  
  Looks useful...

 MagicPoint (as seen by the logo) is the software which does the
 presentation.  Its a great program and very easy to use.

 for more details.
 
 Perhaps we should do a magicpoint talk at SLUG...


IIRC, one has been done in the past, however there is no
reason not to repeat, I'm sure its improved a bunch in the
interim.

I don't know how, but it just worked for me using Tahoma and Verdana when
I recently prepared a talk using mgp.  I'm using fairly current debian
unstable, so it's probably to do with recent versions of freetype or xft or
something.

  apt-get install ttf-freefont msttcorefonts
 
 I can see theer is an msttcorefonts but there is no package called
 ttf-freefont



In general try 
   apt-cache search ttf 
to get a list

...
ttf-baekmuk - Baekmuk TrueType fonts
ttf-freefont - Freefont Serif, Sans and Mono Truetype fonts
...

(in sid, don't know about woody)
