[ale] Installing MS fonts

[DJ-Pfulio]

OR .... don't use page layout formats when they aren't necessary.  HTML really
was designed for this, yet the page layout people took it over by allowing the
server to choose fonts which is a terrible idea, IMHO.  Perhaps 95% of all
documents produced DO NOT NEED page layout control, yet we humans waste so much
time over that.
