SUMMARY
The discussion centers on selecting default fonts for software compatibility across various operating systems, specifically Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Participants highlight that while fonts like Bookman, Georgia, and Tahoma are common on Windows, they may not be universally available on other platforms. Notably, Times New Roman is not included in default installations of Ubuntu or LibreOffice, and its use is restricted under the GNU General Public License. The conversation emphasizes the importance of choosing fonts that are visually appealing yet widely supported to avoid compatibility issues.
