I really didn‘t know that - Liberation/C-fonts are correctly replaced by their
counterparts when opened in Word. Cool! (I always thought of compatibility the
other way round.)

Thank you very much for explaining the thought process, Yousuf!
Still seems a bit half hearted to me. But obviously priorities are a bit
different here (see <a class="bz_bug_link

title="NEW - Handling of fonts with more that 4 styles (R/B/I/BI) is suboptimal"

title="NEW - Missing font weights (like Medium)"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=98596">bug 98596</a>): Source family - despite sorely
missing the still wip italics – is even now much more complete in terms of
OpenType features, font weights, coverage, thought and polish than many of the
other fonts. I rather see it has most "future potential" as a third family
(DejaVu – legacy, Noto - universal language/unicode support, Source – modern).</pre>
