--- Comment #1 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
MS Aptos will come to a head very quickly as more MS 365 and Office 2021 users
normal.dot are moved onto that replacement Cloud font (requiring a MS login).

Currently no viable "online source" for Aptos (it is cloud only licensing) nor
for a metrically equivalent font. 

While individuals can find the Aptos font archive to download, with
questionable license/usage rights--but that only accommodates individual users.

The LO deployed crosextra Carlito <--> Calibri mapping has been functional
until now for interoperability with MS Office, but that is no longer enough.

Going to need additional effort/TDF sponsorship for use of selective "cloud
fonts" like Aptos, or to find a viable metric equivalent with fallback.
