Mmmh you're reminding me that I actually like the Vista fonts Calibri and Cambria.. might as well import them from the NTFS partition. Thanks for the tip/reminder!

For others.. if you're running (an older) microsoft office version under wine, the 2007 to old format converter is available for free at the microsoft site and comes with the Vista fonts.
Not quite sure what the legal requirements are for installing it and leeching the fonts, if you don't have an office version (as they're obviously meant for that use) you might wanna send a mail to microsoft first.
