  config output so that it remaps the fonts i listed above to a native unix 
  fonts...  this can already be done in the fonts section, but i will discuss it 
  with alexandre about which would be the better solution
+ 
+ ------- Additional Comments From Speeddymon at yahoo.com  2002-05-25 17:37 -------
+ Talked to Alexandre, and he reminded me that the MS fonts are copyrighted, so 
+ we couldn't simply include them in wine's source...  The best bet for right now 
+ would be to download the default fonts from microsof, although I am not sure of 
+ the link to them
+ 
+ What I may try to do is implement some sort of override for the fonts like the 
+ dll overrides and like alexandre's .exe overrides where you have something like
+ 
+ [DllOverrides]
+ "arial.ttf"="builtin, native"
+ 
+ [fonts]
+ alias1=blah blah
+ 
+ so that wine defaults to using the "native" font, i.e. the MS version of it, if 
+ it exists, and if it doesn't it uses the "builtin" one, i.e. the alias for that 
+ font in the fonts section of the config, that way users can decide which MS 
+ fonts get used by wine and which unix fonts get subbed for the MS equivalent...
+ 
+ its kinda complicated to explain, but seems like it would work...  if i get a 
+ chance to work on it...
