At TypeCon2007, Microsoft Corp. and Apple announced they have renewed their font licensing agreement, giving Apple users ongoing use of the latest versions of Microsoft(R) Windows(R) core fonts.
Under the agreement, Apple and Microsoft are extending the seamless Web and software experience Apple users have enjoyed for years when using and viewing popular Microsoft fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial and Verdana(R).
Apple customers, developers and Web designers can safely specify fonts knowing that their documents, presentations and Web pages will appear as they are meant to be seen on screen and in print.

Only one problem: these fonts more or less suck. TNR comes only in 4 weights, Verdana is no match against any sans-serif out there when it comes to print, and Arial… a poor clone of an equally poor Helvetica font.
