Re: [dev] DejaVu integration in 2.0.4
Hi Christian! With the lower level of standards, DejaVu fonts are much better than Bitsteram for many languages. For example: Bitstream is unusable for Hungarian language, because it misses some chars. I read the linked dicussion and no one told that there was a problem under OpenOffice.org.

The problem is that the letter that are added to DejaVu don't match the quality or style of the first ones. So it blows up the font with glyphs that don't look good. Sure, DejaVu does include more glyphs and should work fine for at least european languages, but that's all. I'm not saying that DejaVu won't be an improvement, it is just not as good as it could be ciao Christian -- NP: As I Lay Dying - Meaning In Tragedy - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The font is under developmemnt, we can help them with work, ideas, etc.. Why should we leave this project alone. If we need fonts other language than European languages we can integrate font for that language specially. DejaVu is much better for Hungarian and other Central European langueges. ciao Christian Szia, KAMI
