Add ‘PT Astra Serif’ as a metric alias of ‘Times New Roman’
TL;DR: Please add PT Astra Serif
as a metric alias of Times New Roman
to 30-metric-aliases.conf
.
PT Astra Serif
and PT Astra Sans
were developed as metric-compatible alternatives to Times New Roman
due to U.S sanctions against Russia. (Reference comparison.)
Astra Linux ships with a metric alias for PT Astra Serif
as the same as Times New Roman
. They also include PT Astra Sans
as an alias on that list. However, this is and sans-serif font and a poor visual match for Times New Roman
. A subset of the PT font family is shipped by default in Apple macOS and iOS, and in Fedora Linux. Various parts of the font family is available for download through the package repositories of other distributions.
