Arkpandora TTF - The MS Webfonts Replacement

Usability
Usability

Many people are still getting (by whatever means) the core MS fonts for their Linux Desktop. This project is meant to be as a replacement for some of these main fonts. They have been designed to match similarly with the fonts they replace. The fonts are derived from the Bitstream Vera fonts and are available under the same terms as Vera.

This pack is the Arkpandora font set.

They can be found at:

Re: Better Vera packages have been available long ago

I agree with you on the part of the RPM, but - correct me if I'm wrong - these fonts are not the same as the Vera fonts. They are merely derived from it.

It's a bit easy to flame someone for doing something another way than you would. If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em. I, for one, would like more Vera-derived fonts, especially fonts like these: to replace anything (c) Microsoft.
