Re: [libreoffice-design] Default Writer Template

Hi Ahmad,
Could you detail all the changes you made?
My first impressions:
I like the clearer heading separation (no longer guessing if the italicized
heading is superior or inferior), but I don't like the decreased font size
for headings. How about starting with 18 pt for Heading 1, then 16, 14, 13,
12, 11 for the consecutive headings?
I really like the space after a paragraph. While you're at it, could you
make the line-spacing proportional at 120%, as recommended by Butterick's
Practical Typography [1]
The subtitle feels much too far from the title -- could it be brought a bit
closer?
I'm not sure what to think about a Liberation Sans by default. I kind of
liked the separation between headings and body text we had going.
While trying to see what the document would look like with Liberation Serif
for headings, I discovered that changing font of the Headings style did
nothing -- the font is set for each heading style separately. This should
be fixed -- the font family and style should be set for the Headings style
only.
