Re: [libreoffice-design] Bundled english fonts

2016-10-10 Thread Francisco Adrián Sánchez
Hi Yussuf, all,

I'd like to help with this. I have already some opinions about it. I think
that there are some of the fonts that are already bundled with LibreOffice
that could be removed.

I would for the approach of "2 serif fonts, 2 sans serif font, 1 or none
mono". Adding more and not using them in templates we provide is just
adding more bricks to the big wall of typefaces.

I really like Open Sans, but you already bundle Source Sans Pro and in more
weights: Open Sans has a light, bold and extrabold versions and they were
omitted. Also, there are at least 2 Impress templates based on Source Sans
Pro. Thus, the 2 sans would be Liberation Sans & Source Sans Pro.

I will explain why not Carlito: I'm against Carlito in its current state:
there are some bugs regarding its transformation from Lato, which result in
weird rendering. *And it's not because of the hinting* but because of the
squeezing of Lato to match Calibri. Please, see these 2 screenshots:
http://s2.subirimagenes.com/imagen/9647191carloto-vs-lato-2.png
http://s2.subirimagenes.com/imagen/9647190carloto-vs-lato-3.png
It's the only problem I have found by

Also, Caladea doesn't show this errors but it *lacks of greek and cyrilic
support* (at least the versions bundled with LibreOffice). I emphasize this
because the opposite is stated in the Docs sheet)

Cambria vs. Caladea character table (from FontForge):

So... it's a replacement for latin alphabets only.

Furthermore, I don't see the point of bundling Gentium Basic _and_ Gentium
Book Basic. Besides, *it doesn't count with Greek nor Cyrillic support*...
or at least, the versions bundled with LibO up to 5.3 alpha. Again, the
opposite is stated in the Docs sheet.

Then, between PT Serif and Linux Libertine, the last has a much more wider
character support. So, in my opinion Liberation Serif and Linux Libertine
should be enough for serif typefaces.

These are my 2 ¢

Re: [libreoffice-design] Default and bundled arabic fonts

2016-10-08 Thread Francisco Adrián Sánchez
>
> Google renamed them from Droid* to Noto* and added hinting to improve them.


Wait, this isn't exactly true: Noto is almost the same as Open Sans except
the "g" character (Open sans has the curly one, and Noto the "grotesk"
one). Of corse, Open Sans is based on Droid but is not the same: the first
one is wider while Droid Sans was though for cellphone interfaces, so it's
quite narrow. Also, Droid Sans doesn't have italics.

The ones that seem to be basically the same are the serif counterparts.

Fracnisco.

Hi Heiko,

Yes, a few days ago I saw that bug. Sadly, I name colors by its actual
position in the matrix, in the same way MS Office does (Text 1, Background
1, Emphasis 1, 2, etc). But I had an idea, I'll see it now.

Yes, I didn't paste the complete link:

Yes, I have already though about that but... it's I still have to learn
_how to_ do that. My coding skills only holds basic Fortran.

Hi Tomaž,

Thank you very much for your answer

>You probably reinvented some transform color transform I guess.. but
>it is an interesting approach too.

Yes! Of course, nowadays I'm sure there is another way of doing the same or
even better! I just wanted to share that it's already quite easy to obtain
a fair result (the code may look quite long but I guess it's because I'm
using Fortran and programing as a chemical engineering). I shared it also
because it's already working: it generates a valid LibO color palette.

regards!

[libreoffice-design] Fwd: Color palette generator

2016-09-27 Thread Francisco Adrián Sánchez
Dear design team,

My name is Francisco Sánchez, I'm a chemical engineer who loves doing his
work with LibreOffice (even though I'm not always allowed to). Although I'm
not listed in the design team nor mailing list, I've already contributed
some times with a few opinions and even I've presented some Impress
templates for the 5.0 conquest.

I've used OOs since 2009, and one thing that I had always missed from MS
Office was the ability to generate a color palette from some theme colors.

Since I'm a chemical engineer that knows Fortran (yes, Fortran) I decided
to code an app that were able to read some colors in RGB coordinates
generating then a LibreOffice color palette. Since these files are just
text files, I though they should be easy to produce using the only language
I know... Fortran.

That said, first I analyzed the gradients that MS Office 2007 produces, and
correlated the resulting alteration of each coordinate for each gradient.
For example, if one base color has a red coordinate of 50, the "clear 90%"
shadows will have a red value which is a function of 50.
Pardon me if I don't know if there's an easier way to do this, it's just
what I could do it.

Astonishingly, there is a correlation (a polynomial one). Based on the
coefficients I got, I coded the following app in Fortran. My app works
fairly ok, producing pretty similar results to the one that can be found in
MS Office.

I don't want to type a will here, but if you are interested on it I can
email you a link to download the code and some instructions to compile. I'm
not leaving any link here because I fear that the antispam filter will
catch this email. Thus, I've uploaded the code inside an ODT file into the
Document Foundation Wiki. Thus, if you are interested please look for the
file:

"File:Palette_Fortran_code.odt".

There's an screenshot there also.

Last, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not intending to say that you
should include this code in LibreOffice, nor that LibreOffice should
generate the same palettes than MSOffice does.

However, I found my app quite useful for my proposes. Also, I know that
some of you are already dealing with document themes. So, I think that the
idea behind it could be useful for you also.

That said, I wish you will have a nice weekend.

Best regards,

Francisco

Re: [libreoffice-design] New default fonts

Yes, there's an opentype version. You can differentiate them because of the
last character at the name of the type: "Linux Libertine G" and "Linux
Libertine O" are graphite and opentype fonts, respectively.

Francisco

Re: [libreoffice-design] New default fonts

2016-02-15 Thread Francisco Adrián Sánchez
Please, reconsider the use of Carlito as a *default* font. It has serious
design issues which came with the "modification" of the original font,
Lato, from which Carlito takes its symbols.

For example, Carlitos "eight" character is taller than the rest, making
documents look weird:

http://6g6.eu/sih0-carloto-vs-lato-3.png

This is because the symbol it self is taller, and it isn't a hinting
problem. This is a comparison of "O", "zero" and "eight" characters made
with FontForge:

http://6g6.eu/sih0-carloto-vs-lato-2.png

On the other hand, I haven't found any flaw in Caladea's design. However,
Caladea has a smaller symbol base than Cambria. Thus, we would be
*discriminating* Greek and Cyrillic-writer people.

Thus, unless Carlito's design is revised and corrected, and Caladea's
symbol base is completed, IMHO those typefaces shouldn't be the _default_
typefaces in LibreOffice documents.

Kind regards,

Francisco.

Sorry to bother, but well, is there also the possibility that somebody
could develop a sidebar for the Chart app in the edit mode?

(It could have all items including styles... no only chart styles but line
and fill styles for the series. Also for shapes drawn inside the chart:
text boxes, lines, arrows, etc.)

Francisco

[libreoffice-design] Re: Breeze Icons

2015-04-01 Thread Francisco Adrián Sánchez
All align and justify text icons in Writer are wrong

For align, it seems to be that Writer is using the icon for aligning shapes

Justify icon seems to be the one for wrap text in Calc

Hello to all the Design team, I'm Francisco, author the the
"ScientificManuscript" template

> * templates needing sample text: Lyrics booklet, Scientific
manuscript v-0.0.1

I have uploaded a new version with sample text and comments explaining
the styles. Comments are in English, and even though probably they
aren't necessary, most of scientific publication _is_ in English. So
maybe a translation isn't mandatory.

Regards

Francisco
