You can also get them by downloading the Office 2007 Trial as well. The reason I didn't recommend this way is because the downloads are huge just to get less than 2MB's of fonts (the PowerPoint 2007 viewer alone is over 25MB in size.)

Let's throw in Cambria, Calibri, Constantia, Candara and Corbel in too. Unless you running Vista, if you have these, they are out of date. So, to update or get the fonts fresh, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=048DC840-14E1-467D-8DCA-19D2A8FD7485&displaylang=en Download the PowerPoint View 2007 as a free download and enjoy the free fonts that Microsoft gives you. It's a bigger download at 25.8 MB by an order of 10. Less than 10 seconds or less than 1 second. Yeah, it doesn't matter much to me. :) Looks like it was my day to download some fonts! Enjoy!
