This is the FONTLOG file for the Ubuntu Font Family and attempts to follow
|
|
the recommendations at: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ_web#43cecb44
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
|
|
The new Ubuntu Font Family was started to enable the personality of
|
|
Ubuntu to be seen and felt in every menu, button and dialog.
|
|
The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually
|
|
hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens.
|
|
|
|
The scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used by
|
|
the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with Ubuntu's
|
|
philosophy which states that every user should be able to use their
|
|
software in the language of their choice. So the Ubuntu Font Family
|
|
project will be extended to cover many more written languages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
History
|
|
|
|
The Ubuntu Font Family has been creating during 2010 and 2011. As of
|
|
September 2011 coverage is provided for Latin, Cyrillic and Greek across
|
|
Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold-Italic. Further work was uptaken during
|
|
2015.

ChangeLog
|
|
|
|
2015-08-21 (Paul Sladen) Ubuntu Font Family version 0.83
|
|
|
|
Note: This release was created by binary patching from the v0.80
|
|
release using the scripts in 'sources/patch-0.80-0.83/' to rebuild
|
|
the necessary tables. The release selectively updates only those
|
|
proportional .ttf font files exhibiting the bug below bug number;
|
|
the Ubuntu Mono monospace font files remain unchanged, being the
|
|
original version 0.80 ones.
