These are not the same issues. As Patrick noted in his comments, "By chance (mainly to create SVGs for Commons) I have the fonts "Liberation Sans" and "DejaVu Serif" installed on my system." A singly user willfully choosing to download a set of fonts is not the same thing as thousands of users unknowingly having the fonts packaged with another application. If users specifically choose to download a font, like Linux Libertine for instance, and then report to us that they think it's not what they like, then the onus is on them. The case where users of LibreOffice/OpenOffice have these fonts plus having font smoothing off (intentionally or because that's their system default) is a whole different can of worms. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
