I know, but the font I meant is not one of the MS fonts. Tere is a third
font there, which was taken from a free site, whose name I cannot remember.

Yes, caudium itself will work without any of the TTF fonts present. Its
config interface (web-based) uses a built-in bitmapped font for rendering of
some controls, the Lucida font is used by default by some modules that
render text, but changing it is not a problem. I will try to remember and
upload a new version that uses bitstream vera this weekend.

I am one of the upstream authors :) - it wasn't me who put the fonts there,
but I know the situation. I haven't fixed it so far merely because of lack
of time in the past weeks, but I'll get to it asap. Promise.

best regards,
