--- Comment #45 from xanadu at mailbox.org ---
There is a new high-quality unicode font on the scene: EB Garamond

It was first released in 2011 and became an open source community project.
Since 2017 the font has reached a level of quality that is higher than the
quality level of commercial implementations of the Garamond.

"Released in 2011 by Georg Duffner, EB Garamond is a free software version of
Garamond released under the Open Font License and available through Google
Fonts. Duffner based the design on a specimen printed by Egelnoff-Berner in
1592, with italic and Greek characters based on Robert Granjon's work, as well
as the addition of Cyrillic characters and OpenType features such as swash
italic capitals and schoolbook alternates. It is intended to include multiple
optical sizes, as of 2014 including fonts based on the 8 and 12 point forms on
the 1592 specimen. It has been described as "one of the best open source fonts"
by prominent typeface designer Erik Spiekermann. As Georg Duffner couldn't
complete the bold weights for personal reasons, the project was continued by
Octavio Pardo. As of 2018 this implementation has 5 weights (Regular, Medium,
Semi-Bold, Bold and Extra-Bold), both in regular and italic style."

I tested it and it is great, thus I will use it for my PhD in Linguistics. I
think it is really worth to be included in LibreOffice.
