Due to copyright issues, Fedora cannot include the "core" fonts Arial, Times, Verdana etc. Instead, Fedora offers an alternative under the name "Liberation fonts". Well, great. Except that 99,9% of all documents received use these core fonts, and I'm not planning to do a find and replace with each and every document I open. So, I'm sorry to say this: I think trying to replace the core fonts is simply stupid.
