This morning there were a couple of updates available in Ubuntu. One of them was for a package called "ttf-liberation". Here is the description: [quote]A set of serif, sans-serif and monospaced fonts from Red Hat with exactly the same metrics as the (non-free) Microsoft Times, Arial and Courier fonts, which implies those fonts can serve as a drop-in replacement. The font family is named Liberation.[/quote] As a web designer, it would be a great boon to have fonts in Linux that are the same metrics as Windows fonts. I have been adjusting the designs I do to accommodate Windows users (in terms of fonts) and sometimes things look off in Linux if I don't install the non-free TTF font packages. I doubt most Linux users install those packages and it would be great to have a set of fonts to add to the font-family for Linux users. Just one step closer to pixel-perfect ;) Anyhow, I'm wondering how to utilize these fonts. Has anyone experimented with them? Is this a somewhat standard package that is being used in newer Linux distros?
