I have noticed that Oxygen doesn’t have an italic font, so I no longer find it an acceptable alternative. (Italic text in the UI still works, but a different font is substituted.) So my preference would be Source Sans Pro or Noto. Noto is based on Droid, but isn’t as narrow or heavy. I’m not sure which I prefer of Source Sans Pro or Noto. (To compare them, you should scale Source Sans Pro up, since Source Sans Pro is much smaller for the same nominal font size.) BTW, Linux Mint has switched to Noto: http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_mate_whatsnew.php#artwork Quote: ‘Linux Mint now uses the Noto fonts by default. They're good looking and provide better support for some languages (CJK in particular).’ Noto consists of very many fonts, currently 100 different font packages, which should cover most scripts in Unicode. (96 of these packages exists as packages in openSUSE, AFAICS.) Note that for ‘Noto Sans CJK’ fontconfig needs to be configured to use ‘full native hint and gray-scale rendering (as opposed to autohint and subpixel rendering)’ for proper/best rendering, according to https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/issues/159 I’m not sure if this also applies to the non-CJK Noto fonts. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer E-mail: karl@huftis.org Jabber: huftis@jabber.no -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
