Beside Droid and the fonts we already include (arimo, tinos, etc) it's not easy to find Apache licensed fonts: most opensource fonts use SIL license. On this page http://www.google.com/fonts/attribution there is a list of google fonts with their license. Of interest and with Apache license I can only see Open Sans and Open Sans Condensed http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans+Condensed that are quite similar to Adobe's Source Sans Pro (which is SIL licensed), the Noto family http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Noto+Sans http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Noto+Serif and not many more: Most other Apache fonts there are only "decorative". Note that I do not use those fonts on a regular basis (I'm a big fan of Libertine/Biolinum family that are dual licensed SIL+GPL with font exception), so I cannot say how good they are. But if we can include SIL licensed fonts on the search, it will be quite difficult to choose only a few :) Regards Ricardo > See > https://issues.apache.org/ooo/**show_bug.cgi?id=122097<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122097>for > an example of a similar enhancement issue. > > Regards, > Andrea. > > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org<dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > >
