--- Comment #23 from Bartosz Dziewoński <matma....@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Steven Walling from comment #21) > (…) most Windows users do not > in fact have Liberation Sans nor Arimo. I'm going to call [citation needed] on this until I see some stats. :) Liberation Sans is installed by default with LibreOffice, and the popularity of free office suites have grown in the recent years among Windows users too [1]. This is likely a non-negligible number of users. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#Users_and_deployments provides a ton of sources. (In reply to Erwin Dokter from comment #20) > 2.

I think this is a very good point that should be seriously considered. 'sans-serif' might be the best way to go by default after all. (Please note that I wasn't among the people opposing the font stack that was chosen.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
