Bug ID: 172557
Summary: Highlighting of open license fonts in the font listbox
to distinguish them from proprietary fonts
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When editing documents, it could be helpful to have in the font chooser listbox
to highlight open fonts (Open Font License), to distinguish from proprietary
fonts.
When using LibreOffice on proprietary platforms (e.g. MS Windows) open and
proprietary fonts are listed altogether.
The problem is that the documents produced can be subject to limitations due to
the fonts used.
