"But these fonts are very unlikely to ever be freely licensed in the way Georgia and Verdana were. Georgia and Verdana were distributed in the way they were in order to ensure widespread availability for spec'ing in websites. The new MS fonts are specifically value-added components of Longhorn, intended to improve the onscreen reading experience of Longhorn users."
