<pre>Some notes WRT the Source* fonts.
These fonts are good quality ones: they provide multiple weight variants which
give a better result than software changes (change font instead of selecting
the software rendered bold, for instance). Granted, they lack the italics
rendering.
What the LibreOffice project should provide is a set of such high quality
fonts: a set of fonts with separate weighted fonts (multiple levels) and italic
fonts.
Thus, for the time being, please keep the Source* fonts in LibreOffice, until
such a free high quality one can be found.
Note: the Liberation* fonts are nice to have as MS fonts equivalents but very
simple (just like their MS counterparts). The Linux Biolinum G and Linux
Libertine G (that is, the Graphite versions) are *very* nice and support many
typographic possibilities but still lack the variants I'm asking for above. TDF
sponsoring that project could be a way of resolving my need :-)</pre>
