Therefore, Red Hat published a set of fonts metric-compatible with the Windows core fonts last year. However, there were some concerns regarding the licensing that prevented many other distros to ship them. We finally managed to settle these problems, leading to better document interoperability for all GNU/Linux users."

One less reason for MS Office Suite and the upgrade swindle. This helps to provide more traction to championing applications like Open Office Suite and eventually move them away from Windoze. Thanks Red Hat.
Now can we get standards boards for papers to actually recognize and allow 1:1 substitution?
