Arial font distribution

Hello,
Does anybody knows anything about distributing Arial & Times fonts
from a windows installation?
From what i understand there are not available for direct download,
but they were downloadable some time ago...
How can i legally distribute them in my php apllication?

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

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...

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.

And none of it would be legal advice - which, BTW, would vary with

With a tool like "The Font Thing" you can read the embedded licence in
the *.ttf file, which states:

"Unless you have entered into a specific license agreement granting you
additional rights, your use of this software is limited to your
workstation for your own publishing use. You may not copy or distribute
this software".

Nor surprisingly, you cannot.

As already suggested, free fonts are the way to go.

Back up the thread and you will see that this is broken where you

Yes, and he was correcting himself. That was the correct way to respond
in this case.

But your comments addressed the op, not Paul. You should have responded
to the op.

I think Mac OSX does too.

Pretty sure they are free downloads for Linux.
