V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |114750 --- Comment #26 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #25) > Finally - the discussion regarding Liberation vs Noto, as opposed to Sans > Serif vs Serif, is interesting, but belongs in a separate bug IMNSHO. Actually, it is germane. As a question of available fonts to support a substantial change like this. The Noto fonts (both styles) are intentionally pan-Unicode and highly localized and released under SIL Open font license. Liberation Sans or Serif (Liberation v.2) remains rather limited in coverage (Latin, Cyrilic & Greek glyphs), with no active designer effort. While the current MS offerings in Aptos even more limited in coverage, and so MS distributes regional fonts to supplement and instruments Office to use them, all under proprietary license. An emphasis placing Noto (and possibly Adobe's Source offerings) as default fonts on the VCL.xcu font lists, either Sans or Serif as appropriate by locale, could improve interoperability cross platform. And cleaning up the legacy mess in VCL.xcu seems advisable while we're at it. Such change/rework of the VCL.xcu default font sequences probably would require a better way to ensure required font is available per locale. And although we already package the Noto Sans & Noto Serif for numerous scripts--they might benefit by move into language packs/extensions.
