    This page seems to be the best one that Google finds when looking for those
problems (documents badly seen because Bitstream Charter is suddenly
unavailable, because URW fonts are suddenly unavailable, etc.).

    I wondered why those good fonts, and Courier 10 Pitch (which is much better
than the [spindly, lumpy, and just plain ugly Courier
New](http://practicaltypography.com/courier-alternatives.html)) stopped working
when using LibreOffice 5.3 but kept on working when using Calligra Words.

    Courier 10 Pitch can be substituted for an improved version of it, named
Courier Code
(http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Off-the-Beat-Bruce-Byfield-s-Blog/Free-equivalents-for-standard-proprietary-fonts
, https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/courier-code). This way we avoid adding
another "Courier 10 Pitch" font equally named; we have the same advantage with
Charis SIL (https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/charis,
http://packages.ubuntu.com/charis) when installing it instead of another
Bitstream Sans.

    People wonder what the hell happened to their documents, although HarfBuzz
ends up being an improvement. Thanks to all the good people that helped on this
page!
