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): Rank Cambria Caladea Non-unicode glyphs 1726/0 667/0 Non-assigned code points u0000u11fff 2/0 1/0 Basic multilanguage plane: U0000-uffff 611/60930 417/60930 Latin suplement 1 u00a0-u00ff 94/96 96/96 Extended latin B u0180-u024f 9/208 8/208 pace modifiers characters: u02b0-u02ff 8/80 9/85 Combined diacritic marks: u0300-u036f 17/112 none Greek u0370-u03ff 75/134 none Cyrillic u0400-u04ff 104/256 none Additional extended latin u1e00-u1eff 8/256 12/256 General punctuation u2000-u206f 18/107 23/107 Super and subscripts u2070-u209f 28/42 1/42 Money symbols u20a0-u20cf 1/26 4/26 Numeric symbols u2150-u218f none 4/58 Arrows u2190-u21ff none 7/112 Geometric u25a0-u25ff 8/96 none Miscelanic symbols u2600-u267f none 3/127 Private use area ue000-uf8ff none 1/6400 Latin ligatures ufb00-ufb06 5/7 2/7 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 ¢ Best Regards, Francisco 2016-10-09 9:30 GMT-03:00 Yousuf Philips <ypha...@gmail.com>: > Hi All, > > So i'm going through the english fonts we currently bundle and want to > evaluate whether some of them can be removed as well as suggest additional > inclusions.
