Hi Jason, I guess you are missing that we use @font-face now. Are you sure
the CSS says LiberationSans and not LiberationSansRegular /
LiberationSansBold? The font pack is created by http://www.fontsquirrel.com/ .
It shouldn't really matter whether you have Liberation Sans installed or
not. I have no idea why this happens on Windows and not Ubuntu.
