Apple and Microsoft Corp. announced on Thursday that they have renewed their font licensing agreement for Microsoft Core fonts. The announcement came at TypeCon2007.

"Under the agreement, Apple and Microsoft are extending the seamless Web and software experience Apple users have enjoyed for years when using and viewing popular Microsoft fonts such as Times New Roman, Arial and Verdana. Apple customers, developers and Web designers can safely specify fonts knowing that their documents, presentations and Web pages will appear as they are meant to be seen on screen and in print," the joint announcement said.
