Hi Olivier,

my ideas go something like this:

* either a font with a strong maths association, like LaTeX's
"Computer Modern" font (a TTF port of that one is included in Ubuntu's
ttf-lyx package under the name of "cmr10")

* or, if serif fonts generally look too fuzzy at 24*24 (the icons are
always at this size, whether toolbars be "large" or "small", as far as
I can tell), a sans-serif font might be better. Among the free ones,
there are two that are used heavily within LibO
** Vegur – the branding font, might not be a good choice because of
glyph coverage issues and also because it's too closely tied to the
branding.
** Liberation Sans – used for some documentation and might eventually
replace Arial as the default document font, should have a good glyph
coverage.
Personally, I like FreeSans better than both of the aforementioned
options, because it is a plain Helvetica copy (unlike Liberation Sans
which is an altered descendent of Helvetica), however, it is not
really used much in the LibO context.

Hope that helps,

Astron
Hi Astron

Thanks. I see your rant is in the fonts for the Elements window. Good reason for rants, BTW.

Today we have icons such as "a<b" or "a=b". My question is now: How do we improve these icons? Do you think we keep the letters or drop them and draw a larger math symbol?

A sample of the result with Comic Sans is in this picture:

The last 2 lines of the Elements windows are new icons.
