IMHO it is really wrong to imply we’re trying to do free advertising by suggesting the addition of the Ubuntu font to LibreOffice. That’s not the intent, and great typography shouldn’t go to the trash basket just because some don’t like the name. It is my desire that Windows users of LibreOffice —those who don’t know a bit about Linux distros—get another set of great fonts for their use and pleasure.
