Bug ID: 113538
Summary: Bundle and use open source Hebrew fonts by default
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha1+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Blocks: 103080, 112812
LibreOffice currently prefers the open source hebrew fonts[1] when they are
installed, but if it doesnt ship some by default, this wont improve the
interoperability of documents. So similar to LO bundling open source fonts like
Liberation and DejaVu fonts to ensure interoperability of latin-based
documents, we should bundle a few hebrew fonts.
We currently prefer the open source Culmus[2] font collection for hebrew text,
so we should bundle a few of them, which includes
* David CLM - Recommended by Eyal from hebrew CTL team to be used as default
* Nachlieli CLM - The current number 1 preferred hebrew font to default to in
VCL
* Miriam CLM - The current number 2 preferred hebrew font to default to in VCL
* Miriam Mono CLM - The current last preferred hebrew font to default to in VCL
and the only available monospace hebrew font
