Hi Chet and Kris,
I'm attaching the new templates for Notes in MS-Word (DOCX)
format.
These use Liberation Sans and Liberation Mono for almost
all styles.
I think that the font sizes used here are the ones we will
want to use for the DITA Notes. I think that the fractional
font sizes Kris found in the PDF from Chet are an artifact of
the PDF generation. I don't think we've used fractional fonts
in the editable templates (MS-Word and Open Office).
Best regards,
Paul
Sounds like we're interested in common goals
here.ÂÂ
We are investigating the use ofÂLiberation Sans as a
replacement for Arial, Calibri, Cambria, and similar
fonts.
Basic background here:
It appears to be bundled with Open Office,
LibreOffice, MS-Word. (On my system, anyway).
We're planning to assemble a Notes template based
on Liberation Sans as the primary sans-serif font.Â
(Any comments on this are welcome!)
It would be a good opportunity for us to clearly
pin down font sizes, and likely other style elements
which have historically been a bit neglected.
Best regards,
Paul
Ditto, thanks Kris! I didn't realize we had
fonts showing up in fractional sizes.Â

Hi Kris and all,
Thanks for assembling this so clearly! It's
very useful to consider several of these items
together.
I'll dig into this and see what the next steps
might be.
Best regards,
Paul
Hi, Paul.
I'm comparing the PDF that Chet sent in
November with what we we have in our current
style sheets. Here are the changes that I
identify:
Change

Notes

Comments/Things we
need from OASIS
|
New header for cover
page. Includes:
- New logo
- The text "OASIS Committee Note"
- A line
|
Text = Arial, 18 pt bold,
#707070
Line = ?
|
- High-quality version of the logo
- Specifications for the line: Color
and thickness
|
Cover page titles
|
Text = Arial (replace
Cambria), bold, #446CAA (replace #?)
Various font weights:
Note Title Version = 24 pt
Committee Note Draft NN = 18pt (replace
16 pt, add bold)
Specification URIs = 12 pt (replace 14
pt, eliminate padding below)
...
|
OASIS: I am going to
change the fonts and colors, but largely
leave the font sizes as is. Then let's
look at the results and see what you
think.
It does not look like the PDF that you
sent us is a final design; it has
less-than-ideal font sizes (10.80 pt and
8.88 pt) and padding for elements.
Can we standardize font sizes to use
whole numbers?

not have the footer.

Hi folks,Â
After reviewing possible designs for
a new Committee Note with the TAB and
several interested members, we have
settled on the attached. This eliminates
the fat blue bar that took up the so
much real estate on the first page and
the header that reminded you, page after
page, that THIS ISN'T STANDARDS TRACK!
Oye vey.Â
Instead, it uses a label, just under
the OASIS logo, to identify this as a
Committee Note and it states in the
Status section that the patent
provisions of the OASIS process don't
apply. It is cleaner, matches our new
color scheme, and makes Committee Notes
less like ugly step children.Â
Ken, Kris, Dave, let us know what
information you want regarding colors,
etc. Paul, let's go ahead and update the
cover page template when you get a
chance.Â
