I recently installed StarOffice 6.0 and am trying to view some MS Word
documents.  In one particular document, the font is Times New Roman.
When I open it in SO, all the apostrophes show up as question marks.  I
noticed SO indicates the font as Times.  If I change the font to any
other font, the apostrophes show up correctly.

Thinking this was a font problem, I scanned my box for any *.ttf files.
I did find some in /usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype/ but none
that look like Times New Roman.  What do I need to do to make the document
look correctly in SO?  Is it just a matter of copying the appropriate ttf
file from a windows box to my truetype dir?  Are there any legal or patent
issues with that?  In general, are the standard Microsoft fonts freely
available for use on a linux box?  I couldn't find any websites that
clearly explained this.

I found some links on the web about Microsoft Core Fonts but Microsoft's
site says they are no longer making the core fonts available for free
download.

I appreciate your help.
