[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 103080] A new default set of bundled fonts

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103080

--- Comment #8 from Yousuf Philips (jay) <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
Just want to point this out for those who didnt already know, as Tomaz asked me
about this on IRC.

* The removal of these fonts will not affect users who upgrade on Windows,
either from OOo, AOO or LO, as the fonts are already installed into
c:\windows\fonts\.

* This removal wont affect users who upgrade on Linux through their package
manager, as for example Ubuntu only ships by default with the Deja Vu,
Liberation and OpenSymbol fonts. Users would intentionally have to install the
fonts-sil-gentium-basic and fonts-linuxlibertine packages in order to get those
fonts. Ubuntu doesnt have packages for Open Sans, PT Serif, Source Code Pro and
Source Sans Pro.

* The individuals that i see that will possibly be affected by this are users
who havent installed LO before on Windows, but have documents using the removed
fonts and users who install the TDF builds of LO on linux, as unfortunately the
ooofonts package installs these fonts in
/opt/libreoffice5.2/share/fonts/truetype/ rather than a globally accessible
location like /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/ where OpenSymbol is being
stored.
