Tahoma font legally...

As far as I remember reading, Tahoma font is not allowed to be distributed by itself so that you could use it in Linux like you can with some other Windows True Type fonts...

As far as I know if you already have Windows installed on your machine with Tahoma font in it (it's *CORE* in Windows XP) there's nothing against using the existing copy...
