test.uxevolutions.info — All Six TrueType fonts included in Vista, packaged together. Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas (monotype), Constantina, Corbel. The only fonts missing are the "dings" font and the Japanese font. (These may be from an earlier Alpha build of Longhorn, and may not be the final fonts.)

These are tuned for ClearType, which could be why the come up a bit fat on OSX machines. I'm really not sure.Calibri is my new default Sans-Serif web-viewing font, very easy on the eyes.

Where and how do you install these fonts?
psykusJul 28, 2005
Can anyone say where exactly these fonts are being used in Vista? I'd like to try them out in Windows XP, for my UI fonts, but i'm not sure exactly where they're being used in Vista.

it was fun while it lasted - I just got a letter from MS's legal beagles requesting I remove the .zip from my site. Ah well...

HiIs there any chance to get these fonts somewhere else? I'm desperately looking for them, but they seem gone... Can anyone mail them? That'd be kinda nice! werner.gamper@gmail.com

I watched the team who created these fonts give a demo of what makes them so good and I am totally sold. The new cleartype engine and these fonts will really help improve text on monitors. It's really quite amazing just how much tech has gone into designing these.

One of the fonts, Consolas, is now available for download from Microsoft.<a class="user" href="http://blogs.msdn.com/powertoys/archive/2006/05/09/593766.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/powertoys/archive/2006/05/09/593766.aspx</a>

None of the mirrors listed on the comments work, neither does the original link.You can use this one:<a class="user" href="http://d.turboupload.com/d/15630/6_New_ClearType_Fonts_Longhorn.zip.html">http://d.turboupload.com/d/15630/6_New_ClearType_Fonts_Longhorn.zip.html</a>

Download Microsoft?s free PowerPoint 2007 viewer and you get the Vista Fonts without Vista :)
kaqamaqaApr 6, 2007
can you find me another mirror? please

These fonts are amazing? The most appealing thing here is that you can only download Consolas from MS. The rest of its nice fonts were kept to itself until now. Whoever decided to spread these through the 'net made a great decision Gates won't be happy about. Corbel looks great on my Mac, as do the rest of them. I think Corbel is my favourite.

Um… It's physically impossible for ClearType to work on a CRT. It operates based on the fact that LCD screens are made of red, green, and blue sub-pixels sitting next to each other. So, on an LCD, to make a white pixel, 3 subpixels must be turned on, and then the eye perceives them as one color.ClearType just takes control of the subpixels, so it can render 3x smoother curves. (This is why the edges of some fonts look "rainbow-ish" on certain screens when ClearType is at its default settings.) Since CRTs don't have subpixels, it not physically possible for ClearType to work on them. (However, standard anti-aliasing can still do wonders on a CRT.)There's a very detailed article on ClearType over at Wikipedia: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType</a>There's also an article about subpixel rendering, the underlying technique: <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering</a>
