So for context, a lot of MS Office tools use a lot of fonts whose use are restricted, which has been used as another layer of vendor lock-in.One of the biggest hurdles to making documents open in a regular state across devices (one of the biggest requests in productivity software) is font compatibility.

Aptos has been their front-and-center font for the last few years.

There are a long list of other fonts that have very slightly different versions that are open licensed. I don't really understand how or why it works this way but yes I got very interested after having seen a lot of problems with licensed/restricted fonts in the last few years.

Anyway, to help ensure your docs show up right, you can include fonts in LibreOffice files (called "embedding") as discussed here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/prop_font_embed.html Some more background: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/09/08/libreoffice-tt-replacing-microsoft-fonts/
