Bug Description

MIR rationale: Caladea and Carlito are metric-compatible fonts to Cambria and Calibri, which ship by default in newer versions of Windows. As users might thus receive documents using those fonts, having good fallbacks available is essential for good document rendering fidelity. Note LibreOffice ships these fonts on Windows and OS X too by default.

the MIR currently only says why you want it in main, and doesn't contain any relevant information for the MIR itself. Plus the packages are missing bug subscribers.

[Rationale]
Caladea and Carlito are metric-compatible fonts to Cambria and Calibri, which ship by default in newer versions of Windows. As users might thus receive documents using those fonts, having good fallbacks available is essential for good document rendering fidelity.

Same for carlito. You mention the promotion needing to be atomic, since they Suggest each other. But Suggests can safely cross archive boundaries. Just Depends and Recommends matter.
