You can find the reason as well as branding guidelines for the Vegur 
font on our design wiki page[1].

I would also not favour adding the Vegur font. There is very little use 
for it due to its missing characters.

Stefan Knorr says: "Please look for professional-looking fonts, we 
probably don't want to bundle something that looks as amateurishly done 
(kerned for instance) as Comic Sans."

Unfortunately, the Comic Sans font is very popular in primary/secondary 
schools (Canada). It would be nice if there were a comparable/compatible 
font included with LibreOffice for students who use Comic. Maybe TSCu_Comic?

Cheers,

Marc
