I think the reason they are not installed by default is that Microsoft REQUIRES that they be downloaded fresh for each use and not packaged for redistribution.<br><br>I suspect this is also so that they can withdraw them from use at any time.<br><br>It was good of Microsoft, in the interest of Web-standard readability to make those fonts available.  But there are also good alternatives without strings attached.  And it is in other countries like China and India where someone *IS* likely to to font-work for free.  Just because someone paid millions to do something once that doesn\'t mean it was actually worth that, or that it would cost that much to do today.  There once was a time when all computers cost millions.<br><br>Also, the anti-aliasing of fonts that used to be important for readability on low resolution screens starts to have a negative effect (that fuzzy look someone mentioned) on really high resolution screens.

Maybe if someone had three computers set up (one Mac, one Windows, one Linux) they would find themselves gravitating towards the one with the nicer fonts, but as far as switching from one OS to another is concerned, I think that very few people would let the quality of the fonts be a factor in that decision.<br><br>The #1 reason why Linux hasn’t seen any significant adoption on the desktop/laptop yet is that very few vendors sell it preinstalled.

Most distributions used to not enable the bytecode interpreter in FreeType by default (which allows hinting of glyphs), so all the fonts were ugly. I agree with you that this would definitely be an instant turn off for anyone trying Linux for the first time, and actually, that is what turned me away from Fedora originally and a big reason why I went with Ubuntu instead, where it was enabled by default.
