In-Depth Guide to the Best Free Fonts
- greatgib 1y agoThey are surprisingly quite good. It would be great if they could be embedded in LibreOffice
- dtagames 1y agoThey can definitely be embedded in a PDF you make with Libre. But to allow the other person to edit with that font, they have to own and install it. That's true of any font.
- greatgib 1y agoWhat I meant is that it would be great for them to join the set of fonts that are provided by default with LibreOffice or Linux distributions.
- bjoli 1y agoAm I the only one that cares very little about what fonts add apart from legibility? Online I think it is mostly a distraction and I usually lock my browser to dejavu sans. I have done this since 2008. Before that I used Bitstream Vera Sans. Whenever I turn that off I end up with a worse online experience. About one in one hundred web pages becomes better by mucking around with fonts. I am probably just old.
- dtagames 1y agoTypography as an art form and communication aide is still older than you. Like any kind of decoration (think, endless paint colors at Home Depot) it can be used effectively in the right hands. And it can also be splashed around pointlessly and even detrimentally.
- bjoli 1y agoI know that, which is why I have always wondered if we made it too easy. I did it myself as a kid, writing HTML 3.2 (?) by hand fiddling around with what must have been the first release of CSS. My web pages would definitely have looked better had I just stayed with arial.
