It's only going to fit on top of the original if it's rendered in
the right font. Looking at the shape of the capital "S" it's
a very different font. I guess this is what Martin meant by
font substitution being a bit dumb at the moment. I understand
you can (legally) install the MS truetype fonts onto Linux.
Have you tried that?
