I'm normally not a user of office programs, still I fired it up to see how Office is affected if 30-metric-aliases.conf is removed. The relative merit of "uncorrupted documents" vs "good looking hinting" has to be clear here.
So I made a series of tests: reference: A line of WWW before page break, a line of MMM after page break, all in _Arialâ„¢_ 1. Arial installed, Liberation installed 2. Arial removed, Liberation is aliased 3. Liberation removed, Nimbus Sans L is aliased 4. 30-metric-aliases.conf removed, DejaVu Sans is aliased. Hang on, the results don't support your argument, but they show that 30 -metric-aliases.conf does not do what it's supposed to achieve. Hence, it could be deactivated, unless Liberation is installed by default. -- bad default aliasing for 'arial' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
