I don't know. No doubt I lack imagination, but isn't Material 3 Expressive - a new merger of font and icon design - addressing different issues from the one that this bug/thread (particularly Michael's contribution) addresses (an unresolved font characterization issue with origins in the beginnings of MS Office and Star Office)? Moreover, is it fair to say that "Material 3 Expressive ... highlights a significant gap in LibreOffice", when it has only come to Google Docs within the last few days (and of course not at all to MS Office)? I'm not saying that this new technology is not worth pursuit and eventual incorporation into LO, just that I don't see how it fits into the scope of this bug. That said, if this becomes a new enhancement request, it may be good background to inform the thoughts in this thread, so thanks for raising it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
