Why? If you bought a Windows license, you bought a license for the
Windows components, I think.
Not being legal to use Windows fonts in Linux would be like being
illegal to buy Coke and using the jar to carry Oranje Juice...
Also, if you bought any program that comes with true type fonts (like
Corel Draw), you could use them also!

Thanks for the clues! I finally could see some nice fonts in
Netscape...
