JRosenfeld Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 What would be the replacement fonts used if a doc using them is opened on a PC that does not have Vista or Office 2007? Are the fonts embedded in each file? It will take years before everyone has moved to Vista or Office 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvme Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Also, FREE LEGAL DOWNLOAD LINK for Consolas.. MS approved. you have to have vs2005 installed or it gives an error and the installer closes =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainold Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 using calibri right now, I think it's very nice. Though lucida grande (on a mac) looks ten times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have to say MS did a really nice job. I like them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Is there any way to extract those fonts from Office 2007 without actually installing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Edit: Never mind, got it. Hehe they install on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger too. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted June 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2006 using calibri right now, I think it's very nice. Though lucida grande (on a mac) looks ten times better. that is what I always wondered. Why this font on mac was such beautiful and ugly on a windows xp machine. Is it a cleartype thing or something?

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 8, 2006 Veteran Share Posted June 8, 2006 What version is the newest Segoe UI? The version installed with Office 2007 (presumably) is 0.97. that is what I always wondered. Why this font on mac was such beautiful and ugly on a windows xp machine. Is it a cleartype thing or something? Possibly. There's way too much contrast for Lucida Grande when ClearType is turned on. ClearType may be nice for LCDs, but grayscale antialiasing - the one used in Mac OS X - beats ClearType when it comes to CRTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Neo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 that is what I always wondered. Why this font on mac was such beautiful and ugly on a windows xp machine. Is it a cleartype thing or something? Mac OS X is using font antialiasing throughout the system and it's applications, Windows isn't capable of displaying fonts the same way.

MrCobra Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I just wanted to add that these fonts are not yet released and therefore considered warez here at Neowin. Anyone posting links to download these fonts will be warned! As for the fonts, they are stunning! :yes: Except for Segoe Script and Nyala the rest are part of Office 2007 BETA. If you want them, go to http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/getthebeta.mspx to get Office 2007 Beta 2, they're included with it ;) Seems like you gave a link to get those fonts. You should warn yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
