I sent a message to the contact e-mail on http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ regarding something I noticed, but I'm excited that it might work so I thought I'd put a copy here for general comment:

I discovered something interesting that I thought I should contact
you about:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/169813/EN-US/

"Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition includes a Setup Wizard that
you can use to create a Setup program that users can run to install
files for a custom application. [...] The files available for
distribution allow you to distribute an application developed using
Microsoft Access to users who do not have Microsoft Access."

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/163535/en-us

"a list of the files that you can redistribute with a run-time
application which you create using the Microsoft Office 97 Developer
Edition Tools [...] TAHOMA.TTF TAHOMABD.TTF"

Does that mean what I think it does? :-)

Does anyone reading this happen to have/have access to a copy of ODE97 to try this out? This would not only solve the problem of the missing bold version, but also the download size...
