--- Comment #5 from Adolfo Jayme <[email protected]> --- Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Well, it would depend on the exact script you’re talking about; again, the input of native readers of the language in question is extremely valuable for a decision to be made. But one must also take into account: 1) Will the new fonts render well* under Windows (where LO is most used)? 2) Will the users be happy about a potentially problematic change (e.g., doc. reflow because of different font metrics) every time they create a new document? Will they expect the change? 3) Do the new fonts fix any bug (e.g., misdrawn glyphs or broken metrics)? and so on... When requesting a font change, a better rationale than “it’s a libre font” is needed. But that’s just my opinion anyway, the ESC should be better prepared to decide on changes like this than me. -- * For example, the Liberation fonts were professionally produced and hinted by Monotype (supplies fonts for Microsoft). Although FLOSS has pretty much catched up and there’s a tool called ttfautohint that makes fonts look awesome under Windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
