Hi, this must be an old topic but I wonder why LibreOffice does not use
the full set of google croscore fonts.

Currently, LibreOffice includes Caladea and Carlito replacing Cambria and
Calibri fonts. However, LibreOffice does not include the fonts Arimo, Tinos
and Cousine (replacing Arial, Times New Roman and Courier), from my point
of view and testing, google fonts do a better job than the liberation
fonts: better visualization, metric gauge more compatible with microsoft
fonts, increased support glyph, etc.

 From what I've read, since version 2.0 of Liberation Fons is a fork of
google croscore fonts ... but in practice do not appear.

Is there any reason to prefer Liberation fonts over google croscore fonts?

Which version of LibreOffice started including the Caladea and Carlito 
fonts?


I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop [replacing Linux Mint for 
printer issues] and it installs 4.2.x.
I had 4.4.x installed before and it did not install those fonts.  I 
copied the .font folder and made sure my font were re installed after 
the OS replacement was finished.


So whatever version of 4.4,x I was using did not have those fonts 
included, I wonder which version does.

Most developers don't read this list as it's designed to be about users
supporting one another. I suggest emailing the ux list as that's where user
experience is discussed by contributors (developers and non-developers).

Best,
Joel

Joel, thank you very much.

I sent this issue to this list, because most projects do not recommend 
submitting questions/discussions on developer mailing lists, if I am not 
a developer.


,Cheers

I'm not informed on that specifically, but usually forks are made for
license issues, so that may be the "problem".

Try comparing Google and Liberation Fonts licenses if you wish, and if
you'll do please report to us as well.

I'd appreciate, at least  ;)

Liberation fonts 2.0 (SIL open font license1.1) is a fork of google 
croscore fonts, due to the initial license of "liberation fonts" (GPL 
v2): https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/



Try comparing Google and Liberation Fonts licenses if you wish, and if
you'll do please report to us as well.

Google croscore fonts they are licensed under ASL 2.0 (LibreOffice 
supports). Currently the google crosextra fonts are included with 
LibreOffice.


From my point of view, it is not a licensing issue, however, the 
superior quality of the google fonts think they should be included as 
standard in LibreOffice for the benefit of their users.

Thank you.

I guess the suggestion should have arrived at destination (devs) as (some
of) they also should read this list as well.
