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

And what about the STIX fonts? They are under SIL, and have important backers (with LaTeX support promised for July).

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.
