Google’s forthcoming Chrome OS ships with a new default font set that provides near-identical replacements for commonly used Microsoft fonts online.
Replacing the previously used ‘Liberation’ font set are ‘Tinos’ – a Serif font akin to Times new Roman; ‘Arimo’ – a sans-serif font similar to Arial and, for fixed-width usage, Chrome OS uses ‘Cousine’ in place of ‘Courier New’.
The fonts are quite beautiful in use although so far I haven’t been able to source their origin. One would assume that, like the Droid font family in use on Android, these were custom built specifically for use with Chrome/ium OS.
