Free versions of Arial, Courier New, and Times New Roman fonts

Available for immediate download, the Liberation fonts are intended to let users share documents between free operating systems and Windows without involuntarily reformatting the documents because the fonts don't match. The Liberation fonts are designed to be metrically equivalent to the Windows core fonts, with each letter occupying the same horizontal space as its equivalent in a proprietary font.

Red Hat has a long history of interest in high-quality fonts that allow interoperability between operating systems.
