This is already done. > And because available fonts are different from OS (platform) to OS > (platform), so Yes, that's why there isn't just one single font, but also a list of replacements.

Well - you are wrong in the case that a) The fonts in VCL.xcu are just defaults and (sane) fallbacks for commonly used fonts. Exactly because the set of available fonts differ is the reason for existance of this file, and the differet sets of fallbacks. Both per-font fallbacks (font "foo" was requested, but it's not installed, what would be a good "look-alike" replacement), as well as "prefer-lists" (no specific font was requeste, let's see what to use as default). b) User interface font as the initial start of the thread (Andale Sans UI) is only used when not using the system font for UI display. Thus virtually no windows user, and no GNOME user will see it, KDE sometimes have crappy configuration so they just uncheck the option in LO/OOo instead of fixing their desktops font-settings), other linux users who don't use the major desktops are the only ones who are affected here, but as Andale Sans UI isn't available, it just tries the font that is next in the list. c) The other defaults (the ones for the document content (Headers, etc.) are easily reconfigured in the Options (Default fonts for documents), or can be set in a default document template d) Other replacements can be setup with the replacement table mentioned above. e) Changing VCL.xcu without giving thought into it will likely change appearance of documents when the fonts aren't available and now LO will choose a different font instead. That all being said: If there is an actual problem with one of the replacements for a given locale: Then of course it is possible to enhance/modify the list. Expecially for "exotic" locales with non-western writing systems the list might be lacking (in terms of glyph coverage, i.e. using a font that doesn't cover the necessary characters or similar). ciao Christian _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
