When I first installed Linux for various clients, one complaint 
invariably concerned font rendering. There was always some Word or 
PowerPoint document whose fonts looked like LEGO for the very young.

One day (around 2003 or so, IIRC), I got fed up with this situation and 
just burnt the whole content of C:\WINDOWS\FONTS from an existing 
Windows XP install on a CD. And from this day on, first thing I do on 
every fresh install:

# mkdir /usr/share/fonts/microsoft
# cp *.ttf /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/
# cd /usr/share/fonts/microsoft
# mkfontdir
# mkfontscale
# fc-cache -f -v

Free as in beer :oD
