FontSubstTable

Description

An extension idea, gathered from Italo Vignoli’s https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/09/08/libreoffice-tt-replacing-microsoft-fonts/

LibreOffice proposes a fonts replacement table, where you may define which libre font will replace proprietary ones that might come in documents from other software or systems. This table is visible and may be set in the Options dialog (LibreOffice > Fonts subtree). The selected replacement fonts look similar to the original ones. Moreover, some libre fonts are metric-compatible with their proprietary counterparts, which means that texts looks similar with both.

The replacement settings are the ones Italo's article lists, namely:

• Arial → Arimo
• Arial Narrow → Liberation Sans Narrow⁴
• Calibri → Carlito
• Cambria → Caladea
• Consolas → Inconsolata
• Courier New → Cousine
• Franklin Gothic → Libre Franklin
• Georgia → Neuton
• Gill Sans → Cabin
• Impact → Oswald
• Palatino → Crimson Pro
• Perpetua → Lustria
• Times New Roman → Tinos
• Twentieth Century → Spartan
• Verdana → PT Sans

Important note

Removing this extension causes the installed replacement table to be cleared.
