To improve compatibility between Word and Writer, I would like to be able to show people how to install the Liberation Font family in Microsoft Word.

Does anyone know where I can download a legit/safe version? Is there an "official" download place for the Liberation Font family for use on Windows?

    As an Ubuntu user who works with a bunch of Windows users, this discussion facilitates interoperability between our documents. Therefore I think it is actually informative.

The Liberation(tm) Fonts is a font family which aims at metric compatibility with Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New. It is sponsored by Red Hat.

You can find the latest version on the liberation-fonts page. Download the „Binary (ttf)” file. It is currently at version 1.07.2.

After downloading the tar.gz package you might need an unpacking tool (eg. 7-Zip) on Windows.

The archive contains the following True Type (TTF) fonts:

LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf
LiberationMono-Bold.ttf
LiberationMono-Italic.ttf
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf
LiberationSans-BoldItalic.ttf
LiberationSans-Bold.ttf
LiberationSans-Italic.ttf
LiberationSansNarrow-BoldItalic.ttf
LiberationSansNarrow-Bold.ttf
LiberationSansNarrow-Italic.ttf
LiberationSansNarrow-Regular.ttf
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf
LiberationSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf
LiberationSerif-Italic.ttf
LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf
