One of the reasons I always selected StarOffice, besides supporting the then-parent-company behind OpenOffice.org (Sun Microsystems) was the addition of clipart and fonts. http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=29652&seqNum=5 "Font stuff: There are new "metrically compatible" TrueType Microsoft Windows core fonts. Font substitution is better. You can set up font substitution with a new improved algorithm that makes the matching better, including across platforms." Back to the IBM font... it´s OpenType.zip is 3.82 MB TrueType.zip is 4.46 MB I just downloaded TrueType.zip from the github project page, decompressed it to its own subfolder, and recompressed it to 7zip format using p7zip -mx9 (maximum compression). The resulting packaged size is 2MB 2MB doesn´t seem like a killer size increase to me... Just my two cents worth...
