New Microsoft C*-Fonts for all (Win, Mac, Linux)
Microsoft has created some new fonts for their Office 2007 suite and Vista: Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, Corbel. Read this article for more infos and some pictures.
They look pretty good I have to admit but nevertheless they are tainted by evil ;-). Nevertheless they might become quite common in the next months. So how does one acquire these fonts (besides spending a fortune on their software)?
Windows ships them with their free PowerPoint Viewer. All you have to do is extract the *.exe and the containing *.cab. Than you’ll be able to install the TrueType Fonts like others.
I didn’t find this out, I read it in the German Blog http://praegnanz.de or rather this blog entry
HowTo install on Linux
Run cabextract on the *.exe and the ppviewer.cab once. You’ll have the TTF files in your current directory, install them (e.g. via KControl).
HowTo install on a Mac
Unpack the *.exe with FileJuicer and than do the same for the ppviewer.cab until you see the TTF files.
