About:
Liberation Fonts are a set of open-source fonts designed to provide metric compatibility with Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New. They ensure that documents and web pages render predictably across different systems without requiring proprietary fonts. This package installs the fonts for system-wide use on macOS.
Key Features:
  • Metric compatibility with Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New
  • Open-source and freely licensed
  • Supports regular, bold, italic, and bold italic styles
Use Cases:
  • Viewing and editing documents that use standard metric-compatible fonts
  • Web development to ensure consistent cross-platform rendering
  • Replacing proprietary fonts in Linux and macOS environments
Alternatives:
  • font-roboto – Roboto is a modern sans-serif by Google, not metric-compatible with Arial
  • font-ubuntu – Ubuntu font is a distinctive sans-serif, not metric-compatible with Arial
