Hi Paul, et. al.
There's a complete library of open source fonts here: Font Library
They're from various sources, including Google and a lot of mainstream type foundries.
Carlito is designed as a substitute for Calibri.
Liberation is one of a number that are available in Sans, Serif and Mono.
DejaVu also includes a 'Markup' variant.
HTH, David
Sounds like we're interested in common goals here.
We are investigating the use of Liberation Sans as a replacement for Arial, Calibri, Cambria, and similar fonts. Basic background here: It appears to be bundled with Open Office, LibreOffice, MS-Word. (On my system, anyway).
We're planning to assemble a Notes template based on Liberation Sans as the primary sans-serif font. (Any comments on this are welcome!)
It would be a good opportunity for us to clearly pin down font sizes, and likely other style elements which have historically been a bit neglected.
Best regards, Paul
Ditto, thanks Kris! I didn't realize we had fonts showing up in fractional sizes.

Hi Kris and all,
Thanks for assembling this so clearly! It's very useful to consider several of these items together.
I'll dig into this and see what the next steps might be.
Best regards, Paul
Hi, Paul. I'm comparing the PDF that Chet sent in November with what we we
have in our current style sheets. Here are the changes that I
identify:
Change
|
Notes
|
Comments/Things we need from OASIS
|
New header for cover page. Includes:
- New logo
- The text "OASIS Committee Note"
- A line
|
Text = Arial, 18 pt bold, #707070
Line = ?
|
- High-quality version of the logo
- Specifications for the line: Color and thickness
|
Cover page titles
|
Text = Arial (replace Cambria), bold, #446CAA
(replace #?)
Various font weights:
Note Title Version = 24 pt
Committee Note Draft NN = 18pt (replace 16 pt, add bold)
Specification URIs = 12 pt (replace 14 pt, eliminate padding
below)
...
|
OASIS: I am going to change the fonts and
colors, but largely leave the font sizes as is. Then let's
look at the results and see what you think.
It does not look like the PDF that you sent us is a final
design; it has less-than-ideal font sizes (10.80 pt and 8.88
pt) and padding for elements.
Can we standardize font sizes to use whole numbers?

Sidebar on cover page
|
Remove

Footer on cover page

Add; the old design did not have the footer.

Hi folks,
After reviewing possible designs for a new Committee Note
with the TAB and several interested members, we have settled
on the attached. This eliminates the fat blue bar that took
up the so much real estate on the first page and the header
that reminded you, page after page, that THIS ISN'T
STANDARDS TRACK! Oye vey.
Instead, it uses a label, just under the OASIS logo, to
identify this as a Committee Note and it states in the
Status section that the patent provisions of the OASIS
process don't apply. It is cleaner, matches our new color
scheme, and makes Committee Notes less like ugly step
children.
Ken, Kris, Dave, let us know what information you want
regarding colors, etc. Paul, let's go ahead and update the
cover page template when you get a chance.
