One important detail I noticed in my printing tests, the LibreOffice
logo on the left seems to be low-resolution, which results in poor print
quality. Can this be fixed? Most people may not notice but it's low
enough resolution that it looks blurry even on the screen when I open
the PDF. I am using evince 3.4.0 in Trisquel if that matters, a Windows
version is available here: http://www.pdfreaders.org.
I would do this correction myself on a single document but there are 16
variations of it that would need to be
corrected/re-generated/re-uploaded, and I will most surely forget some
detail (fonts, etc.) that will make it look different. I will be looking
into translating some of these so if this isn't fixed by release I will
take the time to do it. Mentioning any extra fonts used (if any) and
linking to the high-resolution version of the logos on that same page
may be useful for translators too in the near future. I love the
instructions on the back too :)
I believe there was some recent discussion about measuring the # of
downloads for another document and the difficulty of doing this on the
Wiki. It will be important to measure how many downloads there are for
these variations of the PDF, so in the future we can focus on those that
are most used / drop those that aren't at all. What do you think?
Cheers,
Fabian
Thanks Fabian. Yes the logo is low-resolution. There are some
higher-resolution versions on the wiki and I'll work on replacing them
and uploading the new files. The only problem with the SVG that Daniel
suggested is that it has a purpleish background. I'm not a graphic
designer, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it. If someone who
knows more about it can create a transparent version, I'll be happy to
use it.
I agree that we may not need all 16 variations, we just need some info
on which are the most used. If you have any suggestions about which ones
to focus on, we can discuss it. Liberation Sans is the only font used in
the 4.0 cards. It is installed by default when you install LibreOffice.
I'm glad you're interested in translating the cards. It will be a
benefit to many of our users.
Thanks,
Ron
Thanks for the updates to the cards! I have linked to the wiki reference
cards page from our "Marketing/Design Visual Elements" wiki page[1].
I also agree that it would be nice to update the logo to a higher
definition.
Re: measuring the downloads, I believe that piwik has been enabled on
the wiki and that it is now possible to monitor such things as
downloads. But, you would have to get help from someone who knows more
about it than I do.
Thanks again, these are good marketing items to have in a booth and of
course as educational aids in a classroom setting or computer lab for
students.
Let us know when the logo is updated and I will make sure our l10n teams
know of them.
Cheers,
Marc
