Re: [libreoffice-design] New default fonts

Please, reconsider the use of Carlito as a *default* font. It has serious
design issues which came with the "modification" of the original font,
Lato, from which Carlito takes its symbols.

For example, Carlitos "eight" character is taller than the rest, making
documents look weird:

This is because the symbol it self is taller, and it isn't a hinting
problem. This is a comparison of "O", "zero" and "eight" characters made
with FontForge:

On the other hand, I haven't found any flaw in Caladea's design. However,
Caladea has a smaller symbol base than Cambria. Thus, we would be
*discriminating* Greek and Cyrillic-writer people.

Thus, unless Carlito's design is revised and corrected, and Caladea's
symbol base is completed, IMHO those typefaces shouldn't be the _default_
typefaces in LibreOffice documents.

Kind regards,

Francisco.
