Hopefully the issue of missing fonts in documents will be solved by my proposal. <a href="https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/10/21/dealing-with-missing-fonts/">https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/10/21/dealing-with-missing-fonts/</a> The idea of providing a standalone font download bundle is found in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Open source font installer bundles on download webpage per locale" href="show_bug.cgi?id=113496">bug 113496</a>. > I'm very much against this. We should foster finer use of weights and not > cripple the fonts by not bundling their full weight spectrum. If all or most of the bundled fonts had the full weight spectrum and we could correctly handle them in the UI (<a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - FORMATTING: Font handling fails to recognize font family and parameters" href="show_bug.cgi?id=72944">bug 72944</a>) it would definitely be beneficial to have them, but unfortunately that isnt the case today and wouldnt consider not including all weights to be crippling the fonts. For full disclosure i didn't include the Light, Medium and Black weights of Rubik and Frank Ruhl Hofshi and the Medium weight from David Libre.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
