installation that didn't have them as standard???

This has nothing to do with PHP. PHP doesn't use fonts. Try a legal
newsgroup, or see an attorney.

What part of php would care about the font? If you are writing html,
then the font would have to be on the local machine or some type of font
embedding (which is browser dependant) would be needed. I don't see that
as a php issue though. I'm not sure what OS wouldn't have those two
fonts anyways.

There must be something else going on...

The question was " How can i legally distribute them in my php
apllication? "...

I have an PHP application thats generates PDF's and needs to embed
fonts into that PDF. To be able toembed them, you have to actually
have them.
The app will not run on windows, so i need to find out how to
distribute the fonts with my app...

Jeff: only Windows has Arial & Times by default...

And this has nothing to do with PHP. You could have the same question
no matter what language you were using. Just because you're using PHP
for your application does not make it applicable in this newsgroup.

OTOH, you ARE asking a legal question. You need to get a legal opinion
- which means get an attorney.

Please learn how to use your newsreader. Your comments should have
been a response to the OP, not to me.
