All of the WP8.1 T1 fonts are available to TextMaker as well.  The T1
fonts admittedly look a little rough on the screen, but they look
beautiful when printed.
The WP8.1 deluxe version has three font Debian packages that install and
set up the fonts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1.
There are 30.4 MB worth of them there.
One reason I weirdly  hang on to WP8 is that it prints fast.  WP8.1 will
finish printing a 4 page document on my HP 1200 in the time it takes
CUPS just to think about what t is going to do with the print job.
