Hi Cristian, everyone, On 20.02.23 22:39, Cristian Secară wrote: Has anyone thought about i18n issues at the time of choosing this font ? A quick look at the embedded character set shows that this font lacks support for Czech, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian alphabets (this for Latin based scripts); it also lacks support for Greek, it also lacks support for Cyrillic. Not a word about Asian or Arabic scripts. The choice of Vegur as the branding font for LibreOffice goes back many years, back to the start (2010) I believe. You make a good point, if it's missing many characters for many languages, and we should fix that. Why not choose from SIL fonts ? Their i18n support is comprehensive (and font quality is awesome). Thanks for the suggestion -- do you have a specific font in mind? Or, perhaps the sister project considers that only 'Western' languages "... have digital content created years ago and stored in old, outdated and proprietary document formats." ? Not at all, and clearly Vegur is lacking. Let's find a font that works is many more scripts, and adapt the flyers accordingly...

Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Document Liberation Project flyer for translations
Mr Barrientos, I am really fed up by your repeated mentions of TDF Marketing team based only on your personal opinions and not on facts. In this case, you mention us in a negative way completely out of context, and is not the first time that this happens. From your words, it looks like TDF Marketing team is responsible for all negative things which happen at TDF. Sorry, but this repeated bashing of other people's activities is not respectful and doesn't belong to the community spirit. I am copying TDF BoD, TDF Membership Committee and TDF Team, as I am totally fed up by your attitude. I hope they will ask you to maintain a more respectful attitude, especially if your statements are not based on any kind of evidence.

Thanks, Cristian, years ago I wrote about Vegur not being appropriate for Slavic (and Slovenian) language, but nothing changes within the TDF and design team of LO, as long as it looks nice in English and German ...

[libreoffice-l10n] Document Liberation Project flyer for translations
Hi everyone, As you probably know, https://www.documentliberation.org is a sister project to LibreOffice, focusing on software libraries to open files in proprietary formats. At FOSDEM earlier this month, we handed out flyers about the Document Liberation Project, and here's the file for translations: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:DLP_Document_Liberation_flyer.odg The font "Vegur" is required. If anyone makes a translation of the .odg file, just send it to me (or upload to the wiki and let me know). We already have two translations, thanks to the community in Argentina: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:DLP_Document_Liberation_flyer_ES.odg https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:DLP_Document_Liberation_flyer_ES_ar.odg -- Mike Saunders, Marketing and Community Coordinator The Document Foundation -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: l10n+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
