I also want to re-iterate this is why _everyone_ should be using the
Liberation Sans, Sans Serif and Monospace fonts if at all possible.

Red Hat paid 7-figures to secure the rights for _everyone_ to use
them, 100% redistributable on a license that is Debian approved for
inclusion in the core.  That way no system would ever be without them,
so please use them liberally in your documents.

Liberation was also designed to be _metrically_identical_ to Monotype
Corporation (Microsoft) Arial, Courier New and Times New Roman, so
they should be replaceable 1:1 on _all_ Windows systems (at least
NT5/2000+ generation, Office 2000+, and higher).  This may not be true
of other fonts.

At the same time, understand Monotype Corporation fonts are _not_
metrically compatible with Adobe Type 1.  So there may differences for
programs that favor Type 1 and other Adobe fonts, as well as on Mac
systems.

American Libertarism died in the '70s with the invention of
sensationalist US mass media. Two great casualties have been
the NRA and Planned Parenthood; demonized by opposing media,
all while ignoring their history and the 97% they really do.
