Metric-compatible fonts are fonts that match the metrics (i.e. glyph dimensions) of another font (often generics such as Helvetica, Times or Courier). Due to their matching metrics, replacing a font with a metric-compatible alternative does not change the formatting of the document or a web page. Such fonts are often developed for FOSS systems to display pages correctly.

List of metric-compatible fonts

In the following table, commonly-specified families are shown in bold. This table is roughly based on fontconfig's 30-metric-aliases.conf and Wikipedia pages for individual fonts.

Generic Families

PostScript

The PostScript language defines 35 core fonts in PostScript 2. URW released open-source versions/clones of these 35 fonts for w:ghostscript, available as gsfonts. Projects including GUST's TeX Gyre and GNU FreeFont release enhanced versions of these fonts.

PostScript 3 defines an additional 101 fonts, many of which are made available by URW under the AFPL in GhostPDL. The AFPL bars commercial use. Many of the dual font names are caused by a batch update.

Garamond

URW's Garamond No.8 only provides one optical size (8pt). You may use EB Garamond for more OpenType features, including the 12pt size.

Microsoft

Microsoft bundles a number of fonts with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office. While some of these fonts are just a cheaper version (or look-alike) of corresponding PostScript families, Cambria and Calibri (default font since MS Office 2007) are independent from other families. Microsoft used to provide many core fonts in its Core fonts for the Web project. Although this project is later unavailable on Microsoft's site, the license terms that allow these fonts to be distributed from third-party sites make packages like ttf-ms-fonts^AUR possible. See also Microsoft fonts.

Prior to the introduction to Arial and Times New Roman, Microsoft used two bitmap fonts called Helv and Tms Rmn in Windows 1.0, each being unlicensed imitations of better-known fonts already covered here. They were later renamed MS Sans Serif and MS Serif starting with Windows 3.1, and MS Sans Serif was eventually vectorized into 'Microsoft Sans Serif.' Documents using these fonts are rare, but user interfaces that use Microsoft Sans Serif can occasionally be found in Mono libgdiplus applications. It is generally safe to assume these fonts are metric-compatible with Helvetica and Times when trying to replace them.

Metric-compatible font projects

TeX Gyre

TeX Gyre (tex-gyre-fonts) is a remake and extension of the 35 base PostScript fonts distributed with Ghostscript 4.00. The project provides TeX support and also the cross-platform OpenType format of the fonts. A related project, TeX Gyre Math, provides corresponding mathematical OpenType fonts.

GNU FreeFont

GNU FreeFont (ttf-freefont) is an outline family intended to cover as much of the UCS charset as possible. Most of the Latin characters are fromURW (Nimbus) fonts. This set of fonts is released under GPL v3+ + FE.

Font Family Examples

Liberation

Liberation fonts provides four families Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif, and Liberation Mono, intended to be metric-compatible with common Microsoft Windows fonts. Since version 2.0.0, this set of fonts is released under SIL OFL, and is based on #Chrome OS core fonts. They are available as ttf-liberation.

Older, GPL-licensed versions of this font is based on Ascender Corporation's fonts, which is licensed by Red Hat, Inc. These versions of Liberation also includes Liberation Sans Narrow, which corresponds to Arial Narrow. This one font is available as ttf-liberation-sans-narrow^AUR.

Google

Google provides a high number of fonts, including different metric-compatible font families.

Gelasio (ttf-gelasio-ib^AUR), the Google alternative for Georgia, can be found on FontLibrary under SIL OFL.

Chrome OS

Google ships open-source metric-compatible fonts with its operating system, Chrome OS, under the Apache License 2.0. CrOS core (croscore, ttf-croscore) is a collection of Arimo (sans), Tinos (serif) and Cousine (mono), also licensed from Ascender Corporation. A set of extra fonts, CrOS extra (crosextra) provides Carlito (ttf-carlito) and Caladea (ttf-caladea) to match default fonts for Microsoft Word.

Since glyph mappings from Symbol are usually implemented in browsers, Google no longer ships SymbolNeu in croscore > 1.23.0. You can get this font from croscorefonts-1.23.0.tar.gz.

Noto

Google's Noto Fonts are available via noto-fonts. They are licensed under SIL OFL. Noto Fonts are designed to supplement glyph coverage for Roboto (ttf-roboto), the standard typeface for Android, and are vertically (i.e. same line height for the same font size) metric-compatible with Roboto.

Other metric-compatible fonts

Selawik

Selawik (ttf-selawik^AUR) is Microsoft's open-source alternative to its Segoe UI font. Unfortunately it does not match Segoe UI's kerning parameters. It was developed for use in the WinJS framework, which is now abandoned.

Wine Tahoma

The Wine project developed a metric-compatible font to replace Microsoft's Tahoma, available as ttf-tahoma^AUR. Its name in TTF data is simply 'Tahoma', so there is no configuration needed.

Example configuration

For font consistency, all applications should be set to use the serif, sans-serif, and monospace aliases, which are mapped to particular fonts by fontconfig. Font configuration#Replace or set default fonts explains two ways to achieve the configuration, both are covered with an example for metric-compatible fonts below.

Example for binding method

The following example configuration uses the #Liberation fonts.

Example for prefer method

The following example configuration uses the #Chrome OS fonts, adding additional aliases for other fonts frequently required to refer.

  Description

  Tahoma is one of Microsoft's new sans serif typeface families. It consists of two Windows TrueType fonts (regular and bold), and was created to address the challenges of on-screen display, particularly at small sizes in dialog boxes and menus.Since the Tahomas are TrueType fonts, they can be rotated and scaled to any size, and anti-aliased by the rasterizer built into Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. These features give the fonts significant advantages over bitmap system fonts such as MS Sans Serif.The Latin, Greek and Cyrillic characters were designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-instructed by leading hinting expert, Monotype's Tom Rickner. The Arabic, Hebrew and Thai characters were designed by the Monotype Drawing Office to complement Carter's initial designs. Tahoma sets new standards in system font design. It is ideal for use in User Interface Scenarios and other situations requiring the presentation of information on the screen.
