Re: [libreoffice-design] Bold and Italic icons

I'd prefer lowercase icons, because they're more recognizable in a
glance as I already said in the wiki page. Three uppercase "A"s can be
easily confused.

The Humanity (and Gnome) icon themes included in Ubuntu use lowercase,
you can check apps like Inkscape or Abiword to see that.

BTW, I don't quite understand how can uppercase or lowercase letters
be more or less "inline with your design goals."
