This tutorial will help you download and install fonts listed on the alternative fonts comparison table we published. It means you will practice visiting websites of respective fonts like Carlito's and Liberation's, downloading, extracting, viewing, installing and finally using them on your system. This is hoped to help you increase document compatibility using LibreOffice and beyond. Happy working!

This table presents a comparison between popular (proprietary) and less popular (free) fonts that are typographically similar and can be used as replacements. All free fonts mentioned below are under Free/Libre Open Source Software licenses such as GNU GPL and Open Font License and they are better because although not as popular, they permit both commercial as well as non-commercial purposes and redistribution. This table is written as a part of our continuous efforts in helping people switching to Free Software. Download links are available to the end of this article.
