Hi,

in this bug report:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68247
during discussion we came to a proposal to change default "Fontwork"
text in Fontword samples to something more l10n acceptable, i.e.
"Abc123" or "LibreOffice".

Current implementation would require a lot of coding to make it fully
localizable, i.e. that LO would render these samples runtime from a
localized string in po files of every language.

The third option would be to generate samples for each language with
their own string, but that would complicate the process (samples would
have to be manually generated for more than 100 languages, those
different files would need to get packaged for install sets etc.).

So changing the "Fontwork" to a more globally acceptable string for
all languages and changing only this one set of sample files would be
the easiest step in the right direction (although not a perfect
solution).

What do l10n people think about this idea? If it reaches a mostly warm
reception I would like to enter it as an enhancement proposal,
supported by (a majority of) l10n teams.

I am very interested in the response of the non-latin-script-languages
l10n teams.

Thanks for your input (in advance),
m.
