But first, be aware that this question only covers the Western leg of the ODF font trifecta. CJK, and the CTL locales get their own handling. But for OOXML compatibility, while Liberation Serif was a legacy choice for its metric equivalence to the prior MS Word use of Times New Roman. For Word in MS Office 2007 they changed default from TNR to Calibri (a Sans-serif) or now to Aptos (also Sans-serif) for Office 2023/365 By rights TDF probably should have matched and moved the LO default document font to the Google sponsored Carlito font as metric equiv when it became available in 2013 after MS Word went by default to Calibri, not sure why we didn't. But at present, no opensource metric equiv to Aptos yet so we have BZ issues like 162872 We have asked TDF to sponsor an Aptos metric equiv, but effort stalled with regime change. On the functional side, it remains difficult in UI to manipulate default fonts from UI -- the Basic Fonts dialogs of Writer, or need for users to fabricate their own styled templates. Default font issues of opposing see also bug 33743, or bug 152550 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
