Re: Downloading unicode TNR

There is a Sourceforge project for making the original Windows Web Core Fonts (Arial, Times New Roman and others) available for X systems. Actually, these fonts can't be downloaded from Microsoft anymore but they are available here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/font-tool/xf86-corefonts-0.2.1.tar.gz?download.

Download the tgz file and unpack. You'll get a number of .exe files for the fonts but fortunately these .exe files are simple .zip files repacked for automatic extraction. Drop the .exe files on StuffIt Expander and it will unpack them. Now you have a number of Windows .ttf files for each font (one file for each type style: regular, bold etc.).

These font files work perfectly in Mac OS X. They are Unicode fonts covering an extended Latin repertoire, Cyrillic and Greek.
