Hmmmm. Lots of good advice...especially, if you're in a small close knit
group. However, here's my problem - you'll love this. I work for the Air
Force who try not to let any Mac's in the door. (This is another subject
all together, not worthy for this thread.)

So, given that I'm a very small atom in the universe of PeeCees, how does
one solve the fonts dilemma? Here's my take on a plan for our office (re:
business type) environment, see whatcha think.
        - go get the MS fonts off a windows box of one of my employees
        - Use a font converter(s), such as TTConverter, to convert to Mac
fonts
        - test it out
        - If successful, see (once again) if MS has a font package that one
can
           buy to be legal
        - test it out.
        - If successful, standardize on a set of fonts
Note: these fonts would be used for MS Exchange/Outlook and Office apps. I
tend to use New Times Roman for doc's and Arial for briefings (mainly due to
lousy Gov't projection systems).

Whatcha think?
