IMHO it is really wrong to imply we’re trying to do free advertising
by suggesting the addition of the Ubuntu font to LibreOffice. That’s
not the intent, and great typography shouldn’t go to the trash basket
just because some don’t like the name. It is my desire that Windows
users of LibreOffice —those who don’t know a bit about Linux
distros—get another set of great fonts for their use and pleasure.
