I'm writing this email to share a few ideas on how we can make Fedora KDE an even better out-of-the-box experience than it already is.

The first two work really well in Plasma and look nice in GTK applications too, Cantarell is also good as it is included by default. > > Typography is very important, by using a nice font face while keeping it "free as in freedom", it would improve the overall user experience. > So, there's a bit of a challenge here. We switched to Noto fonts specifically because they don't look that bad and offer more or less complete language coverage. A bit later on, KDE Plasma itself made the same change for similar reasons. If we were to do another font change, Cantarell might be a good choice, as it looks pretty good at various point sizes and has semi-decent coverage by virtue of being the GNOME font. > > That's about it really. Overall this is a solid distro, if we can implement these two things, I think the overall experience can be much improved. I was thinking of proposing the idea of using LibreOffice over Calligra suite but using them both, I can't complain about the KDE alternative. Keep it up folks! :) > Thank you for the praise. We try hard to provide a good KDE experience. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
