Hi, I normally use Arial under both Windows and Linux in my GUI apps. But Arial is not standard on most Linux distros - I believe it comes with the additional MS Web Fonts package.
Anyway, recently I saw on WikiPedia that the font Liberation Sans was explicitly designed to have the exact same metrics as Arial. It seem the Liberation Sans font came standard with my Ubuntu 10.04 install. Do other Linux distros have Liberation Sans font as standard? Thus making it a good alternative to use, compared to Arial (under Linux).
