It is a superb companion to Source Sans/Code (both of which we already ship) that has just been released. It is available under the SIL Open Font license, and looks great under Windows.

Setting new -- enhancement.

Likely that this will be picked up quickly in the FOSS world, so LibreOffice will have to handle content using the font across its components. In the scheme of things the additional size will be off set by compatibility. So I'd say add it.

I think that the released version of this typeface is nice, I like it. But... there is *no* italic/slanted version. In my opinion, as a user, I disagree at leaset until somebody release an italic version.
Comment 3 Urmas 2014-05-22 07:02:05 UTC
Source Sans/Serif should not be included _at all_ as they contain no Cyrillic characters.
Comment 4 Tor Lillqvist 2014-05-22 07:03:03 UTC
Or else!?
Comment 5 Tin Man 2014-05-22 09:26:26 UTC
Agreed that it should be added in the future, but I would hold off until it has italic variants.
Comment 6 Stefan Knorr (astron) 2014-05-22 15:30:44 UTC
The consensus seems to be that the font is nice, but not ready => setting to WONTFIX for the moment.

Re-open this when the font has grown a true italics variant.
