Hello, This is my first post here, so please forgive me if I do something wrong or if my English is not clear.
I would like to propose a new typeface for *LibreOffice*. The Regional Technical Center for Visual Impairment in France (CTRDV), one of the most important center with specialized transcribers in Europe, has developed during two years a typeface designed specifically for visually impaired people: *Luciole*. Word massing, spacing, the structure of the letters: the concept for *Luciole* adheres to a dozen specific design criteria to provide the best possible reading experience for the visually impaired. Designed for publishing professionals (publishers, teachers and transcribers), it is a powerful tool that contains many signs for mathematical notation and supports almost all European languages. *We already gave 3 presentations on this project:* • at the French Ministry of Culture – Paris, November 2019 • at the 8th Journées d'étude NTIC (new technologies for visually impaired people) organized by the FAF (French Association for blind people) at the INJA (French National Institute for the Blind) – Paris, December 2019 • at the 2nd RNLA (National Conference of Accessible Book) organized by BrailleNet at Enssib (the French National School of Library and Information Science) – Villeurbanne, January 2020 *Selection of articles :* https://www.aveuglesdefrance.org/actualites/luciole-une-police-de-caracteres-pour-les-professionnels-de-la-deficience-visuelle http://www.lespep69.org/2020/02/aliquam-id-lectus-at-tincidunt-congue-ipsum/ https://www.handicapzero.org/depeches/depeches-handicapzero/detail-dune-depeche-handicapzero/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=5265 http://www.inja.fr/BDEA/doc/AGENDA/487 http://gpeaa.fr/police-pour-dv/ https://pro.bpi.fr/alphabib/luciole--une-police-de-caracteres-pour-la-deficience-visuelle https://www.actualitte.com/article/monde-edition/font-luciole-une-typographie-pour-personnes-malvoyantes/99079 The *Luciole* typeface has also been chosen as one of the 500 national projects labeled by the French National Secretariat for People with Disability. This project is already freely available: we do not try to *sell* it but to *share* it. Today, when a visually impaired child uses *Luciole*, he needs to install the typeface on its computer, all his school teachers need to do this... It would be much more simple to have *Luciole* as a part of *LibreOffice*. Do you think it is a good idea? What needs to be done for this? Who should I contact?
