The daily build MSI archive contains the below duplicate file reported by fdupes : Fonts/opens___.ttf LibreOfficeDev 24:./program/resource/common/fonts/opens___.ttf This file uses 203 kB.
Note that we instal OpenSymbol as a system font (inherited behavior; possibly still useful, if users depend on that font on their systems); and since tdf#128226 got fixed, we also install it as an internal resource (so if a user removes it from system, it's still available for LibreOffice, which uses it in e.g. Math, bullets, etc., so it is needed).
This font is also duplicated in 2 deb packages. In lodevbasis24.8-core_24.8.0.0.alpha0-1_amd64.deb : /opt/libreofficedev24.8/program/resource/common/fonts/opens___.ttf In lodevbasis24.8-ooofonts_24.8.0.0.alpha0-1_amd64.deb : /opt/libreofficedev24.8/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf
Could we use a symbolic link file ?
Mike, was there any reason to keep the older system installation of the font, now that we have it internally? I see you said "[users might] depend on that font on their systems" but I don't see how the font being used in a different program is LO's responsibility. Or is it something else, like internal fonts not being exposed in e.g. LO's font comboboxes?
(In reply to Stéphane Guillou (stragu) from comment #4) > I don't see how the font being used in a different program is LO's responsibility. Huh? This font is maintained in LibreOffice project (the only one such font). For decades, it was installed to users' boxes system-wide (since OOo times). And now you suggest that e.g. I take responsibility to say "hey, you used something created by us, installed by us, and now we decide that we make it unavailable for general use"? ;-) At least, it's not me, and it should come out of some discussion.

Makes more sense that we wouldn't take the system installation away then.
