Hi All,
During this week's design meeting, the discussion about changing the
default font in Impress to Source Sans Pro (tdf#97577) was discussed
further and i felt that changing the default font in only one app isnt
good when we are trying to bring more and more consistency between apps
and suggested we change the default in all the apps.
In LibO 4.2, we changed from Arial and Times New Roman to Liberation
Sans and Liberation Serif and its worth evaluating the available open
source font families to find better replacements. The replacement should
ideally have a wider unicode coverage and should look better both on
screen and print. I collected the following options that i thought are
possible replacements.
1. Droid Family - used on Android, available in Google Docs, available
in ubuntu 12.04 & debian 6-backports -

2. Noto Family - droid derivative to fully cover all scripts in unicode,
available in ubuntu 14.04 & debian 7 -

3. Caladea, Carlito - bundled with LibO, metric compatible with MS
Office default fonts, available in ubuntu 14.04 & debian 7-backports
