The technical terms are "ranging numerals" or "text figures" vs the

I like Georgia. It has lowercase numerals.
Didn't Redhat create a set of workalikes for at least the 'most important'
fonts in the MS collection? "Liberation" or "libertine" or something like that?

One comment on LO interchange with MSO from recent experience working with
MSO-only consultants -- LO Track Changes didn't seem to be as reliably
portable when round-tripping doc* files with MS Word users. The changelog

Easily my favorite MS product since OS2.
In particular, *Georgia* and *Verdana* are a great pair of fonts, designed
to complement each other as *text* and *Title*. I have a lot of respect
for MS's Typographers last decade.

How does that RSA apply to using Windows based OS and software?
I'd suggest trying LO, I've used it with no issues between a few
applications, as long as I remember to save in the correct MS format. My
only issues have been minor touch-ups needed for formatting before printing

My kids and I are 100% Linux at home. (My wife has a Mac, which none of
us touch unless we absolutely have to.) At school, it is unfortunately
obvious the kids use Windows. Also, starting in middle school, the
school expects every kid to carry a USB drive back and forth so they can
work on projects
