MS Office in recent versions comes with two commonly used fonts, which are set as default and cannot be used on computers not running the Windows operating system.
The fonts in question are Calibri and Cambria. We are not allowed to copy those fonts over to non-Windows systems, hence a substitute had to be found. Fortunately, Google ran into the very same problem while deploying their ChromeOS, and they developed two fonts that are of equal size, namely Carlito and Caladea. These two fonts are licensed under OFL 1. For sure you may also use your favourite package manager to install the two packages fonts-crosextra-carlito and fonts-crosextra-caladea.
Once installed, all applications should automatically start making the proper substitutions for you. Note: tested under Jesse April Try reloading your browser or quitting and restarting your word processor to see if it worked. The substitute fonts are not exactly the same as the proprietary ones - that would have meant Google just copied and renamed them, which is not the case.
But to not break the layout of a page coming from MS Office, these fonts are well suited, because they are metric-compatible, meaning each letter will use up the exact same space as in the original fonts. Their astonishingly similar look can be visibly compared. Using a substitution while viewing and printing, but not changing the font name in a document you receive, edit and send back , is advisable, too: If you would exchange the font names which can easily be done, for sure , the person you send the edited copy back will be in need of the fonts you exchanged their fonts to.
Just substituting the view and print on your side makes interoperability much more easy. New documents using proprietary fonts are trickier. Unfortunately, because of the way the fontconfig alias works, most font choosers, such as in libreoffice, will not show Cambria or Calibri as options. However, a new document created using the Caladea font may not show up correctly on a Microsoft Windows computer which would not know to use Cambria instead.
The solution for this is to use only fonts which are commonly installed on both computers, such as Times Roman. It is possible to also install a common set of fonts on both computers. Another workaround would be to keep a document written in a proprietary font and always use that as a template to start new documents.
