To: opensuse-artwork CC: opensuse-factory@opensuse.org.org Hello all,
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up in hopes to get some good ideas about this. I proposed long ago a set of ideas as far as artwork goes to integrate for the next version of openSUSE. One that I wanted to tell you about is changing the current font to open sans. This font family is very complete and also features a clean and sharp look for screens. Every time I use it, I feel that it can be changed to bold, thin, semibold and it keeps a strong presence and welcoming feeling.
It also coincides with recent advances made by the design team at SUSE that chose this font also to be featured in artwork for our openSUSE booths and marketing materials.
To see examples of this look here http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Open+Sans
I have the means to push this change so I just wanted to check on some thoughts about it.
Thank you
It looks clear and nice however some tests are needed to set by default. Did you test it on your system? Where is the source to install it? Regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I used the source provided by google at their fonts page. You can download the entire family as a zip file. I have tried this on KDE and Gnome with nice results. Let me show you the combination that I have on KDE right now. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s10/sh/97dda7cd-7b63-482b-b905-2398876e2bc9/5... -- Andy (anditosan) anditosan.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Thank you for pointing me to the source. It looks nice, clear and using less space than Sans Serif. I will be testing it on different settings for app windows next few days ahead.

Why installing a zip file when you can grab them from oss repo zypper in google-opensans-fonts If you want to check other fonts, we already have a big number of them zypper se -s font will give you a long list ... (even without all those for texlive) :-) For me compared to my belowed choice of bitstream, the character kerning is not that good. and not clear to read in terminal, nor in text when compared to bitstream vera sans. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot ~~~Don't take Life too serious.

There's the google-opensans-fonts package as well as texlive-opensans-fonts (I'm not sure why there are two packages delivering the same font or at least the truetype variant of it). I've just switched to this font to see how that'd work, but there are some things that I definitely don't like: at my usual default size of 10pt the font is rather high, so I had to scale down to 9pt instead. At lower sizes the dots on the "i" get rather small and when using the bold variant they run into the stem (a problem that many sans serif fonts have, unfortunately). I've been playing around with the defaul fonts quite a bit recently and so far "Source Sans Pro" in combination with "Anonymous Pro" has been the best combination for me.

OpenSans-CondBold.ttf is not part of texlive-opensans-fonts. Else all ttf files are identical. Therefore I'm not sure if we have two independent bugs: a) the missing OpenSans-CondBold.ttf in the texlive-opensans-fonts package. b) The duplicated packaged files from the google-opensans-fonts package.
