Bug ID: 97577
Summary: UI: Source Sans Pro, as Impress default font
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: ux-advise
Assignee: libreoffice-b...@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: nem...@numbertext.org
CC: libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org

Liberation Sans and Source Sans Pro comparison
Impress uses Liberation Sans, as a default text font. It would be better to use
Source Sans Pro, because of the following advantages:
– more elegant for slides (nicer glyphs; bigger X-height; dots are dots, not
squares)
– more elegant Impress layout (see empty slides with “Click to add...” font
preview on the attached screen shots)
– full hinting (better uppercase text and i18n support, see attached
comparison)
– lots of different weights (Black, Semibold, Light, Extralight)
With the proposed patch Impress will prefer Source Sans Pro to Liberation Sans
in new documents. It's important, that this change doesn't modify the metric
replacement of the missing Arial font: that is still Liberation Sans (see on
the attached test presentation).
