Hello there, as you probably know, LibreOffice bundles a number of fonts with itself. On last week's ESC call, there were discussions of including more... So, here's an attempt to start a font wishlist to see what we'd like to include in the future. Feel free to add to: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Wishlists/Fonts Of course, there are no guarantees that any of these fonts will make it into the product, but hopefully some will.
A few remarks: Please check if the font is under an open-source license, ideally OFL. (I am not sure, we can bundle GPL fonts, though.) Please make sure at least Latin Extended characters are supported – there's not much use in shipping fonts that barely support ASCII. Bonus points for any further scripts, especially Greek and Cyrillic. Please look for professional-looking fonts, we probably don't want to bundle something that looks as amateurishly done (kerned for instance) as Comic Sans. Please check font appearance on Windows – Windows's ClearType can be rather aggressive and many, many fonts don't look good at small sizes with it. Also, Windows can only apply greyscale hinting for Type-1 based OpenType fonts – this also deteriorates looks. Astron. (PS: Yes, I will put the wiki page's contents into a table soonish.) -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/design/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
