What is the story with Microsoft's new fonts (Calibri and friends)? They now seem to be a major hurdle for exchanging documents with Windows users if preserving formatting is important. Does anyone know if there is work going on to duplicate them in a FLOSS-compatible way?

That's a good question; I don't know. But I'm certainly going to have to look into it now....

Are the STIX fonts a drop-in substitute for MS C* fonts for non-Mathematical things? My understanding (possibly incorrect, as I don't actually deal much with MS stuff) is that the most common problem is their recent use by default in Office documents, which makes the formatting come out badly when they are opened on non-MS platforms.
