Description Behdad Esfahbod 2012-03-22 08:11:37 UTC 
ChromeOS developed their own fonts metric-compatible with Arial, Times New Roman, and Helvetica New.  We should hook them up in the metric-aliases file.  Here more info on where to find them:

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2012-03-23 00:11:35 UTC 
What's the expected order of the fonts?
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2012-04-02 21:43:13 UTC 
I'm not sure.  I *guess* the ChromeOS ones are higher quality than the other alternatives so I would prefer them over the other MS font replicas.

There seems better coverage support in google-croscore-fonts than liberation-fonts:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Liberation_support

maybe good to have a priority to it

Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2012-04-20 14:11:00 UTC 
Looks good.  FWIW, "croscore" stands for "CrOS Core", which stands for "Chrome OS Core", so you may want to recapitalize at least.
