There is quite often arguements in the Ubuntu community regarding fonts and the copyright that Microsoft holds for work that is made using them. I don't think Microsoft would ever think about using this copyright, yet they still persist with it and do not release their fonts in an open way. You will find that Arial, TNR and Courier New are read as 'Liberation Sans', 'Liberation Serif', 'Liberation Mono' , in Linux. Not sure about Macx,
The Liberation font set was an outcome of one of these arguements across multiple communities that had been raging for some time. I love the fonts, I think they are on par with MS fonts for screen reading, I haven't really looked at printed typeface with them. I think we should be using open licence fonts and the following links are what I believe are the best of the bunch GPL Fonts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_(font) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%2B_Fonts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Libertine The document that I sent out was simply a demonstration of what it could look like. Being new to the documentation team I don't want to push my views too far and respect the work that has come before me, it is amazing how much is there. I think the larger Documentation team must discuss the numbered outline before pushing it any further. Also are we still going to have OOoAuthor trademarks on the documentation or are we happy to associate the LibreOffice documentation entirely with 'The Document Foundation' even if some development is occurring on OOoAuthors? -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/documentation/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
