The choice of Vegur as the branding font for LibreOffice goes back many 
years, back to the start (2010) I believe. You make a good point, if 
it's missing many characters for many languages, and we should fix that.

Thanks for the suggestion -- do you have a specific font in mind?

Not at all, and clearly Vegur is lacking. Let's find a font that works 
is many more scripts, and adapt the flyers accordingly...
