--- Comment #10 from João Paulo <joaopauloag-freedesk...@yahoo.com.br> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #9) > We should only distribute fonts with LibreOffice that are needed by > LibreOffice, and distribute them unconditionally. I think the OpenSymbol font is needed by LibreOffice, because it uses the symbols on the Math component and also the templates use it for the bulleted lists, and also the following font families are needed by LibreOffice to ease interoperability: Liberation (Sans / Sans Narrow / Serif / Mono), Caladea and Carlito. **Everything else is unneeded and I agree with you.** But I don't agree that these fonts should be distributed unconditionally, as: 1) There are people/systems administrators who manages the installed fonts to keep them installed on the system to a minimum (LibreOffice would be another software installing unneeded/unwanted fonts); 2) Not everyone needs interoperability by default, as fonts can be embedded on the .odt files and people may need to send only PDF files instead of the source files (for example, my interoperability workflow is with PDFs with embedded fonts or with, unfortunately, .docx files using only fonts preinstalled with Windows if the other party needs to edit them). Maybe my Comment #8 is way too complex to implement, as each font family would be made an optional feature on the .MSI package, but keeping the fonts distributed with LibreOffice to a bare minimum as on this Comment (OpenSymbol/Liberation/Caladea/Carlito) **and** making them (individually or as a group) as optional features installed by default could be a useful compromise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
