The Ubuntu font family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts. The development is being funded by Canonical on behalf the wider Free Software community and the Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag.
Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve. The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens.
The Ubuntu font family is a sans-serif typeface family available in 22 styles plus a variable font with adjustable weight and width axes. Its fixed-width companion, Ubuntu Mono, comes in 8 styles and a variable font with an adjustable weight axis.
PREAMBLE
This licence allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
redistributed freely. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be
bundled, embedded, and redistributed provided the terms of this licence
are met. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under
any other licence. The requirement for fonts to remain under this
licence does not require any document created using the fonts or their
derivatives to be published under this licence, as long as the primary
purpose of the document is not to be a vehicle for the distribution of
the fonts.
4) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole, must
be distributed entirely under this licence, and must not be distributed
under any other licence. The requirement for fonts to remain under this
licence does not affect any document created using the Font Software,
except any version of the Font Software extracted from a document
created using the Font Software may only be distributed under this
licence.
The license for this font is the SIL OFL license. This license does not allow us to redistribute derivative versions of the font without wholesale name changes inside and out of the font. Until we figure out a reasonable method of delivering these to you and complying with the license, you will have to use the Webfont Generator yourself on these, renaming the fonts appropriately.

I have a problem. Earlier I used Ubuntu, but now I've installed an Elementary OS to my notebook and then installed a sublime text 3. But I don't like a font_face in new OS. It is not so good, like it was in Ubuntu, e.g. Zero sign is not striped. And also keywords is not italic like. Can you help me to fix it?
If this doesn't work, try changing the font. There are plenty of choices at Google Fonts. You just need to add the desired fonts to your collection, click the download icon in the top right, and install the .ttf's on your system, which should be as easy as opening the files and clicking on install.
It is an issue for Ubuntu Mono. When programming, it is important that each character is easily distinguishable from all others. This is literally what designers of all programming fonts are concerned about. If you disagree, then \_(ツ)_/
There is a serious issue, i am on lubuntu 22.04.2, after installing the new fonts deb from launchapad under the lunar tab, whenever i type (For e.g Kvantum Flatpak github), the font breaks or misbehaves ??
Ubuntu desktop with 12.04 is about to crash. Installed 13.04 on a new machine, want to transfer Book Antiqua font from old machine to the new one. How do I find it on the old machine? My /usr directory is empty.
Ubuntu is an OpenType-based font family, designed to be a modern, humanist-style typeface[1] by London-based type foundry Dalton Maag, with funding by Canonical Ltd. The font was under development for nearly nine months, with only a limited initial release through a beta program, until September 2010. It was then that it became the new default font of the Ubuntu operating system in Ubuntu 10.10.[2][3] Its designers include Vincent Connare, creator of the Comic Sans and Trebuchet MS fonts.[4]
The font was first introduced in October 2010 with the release of Ubuntu 10.10 in four versions: Regular, Italic, Bold, Bold Italic in English. With the release of Ubuntu 11.04 in April 2011, additional fonts and expanded language coverage were introduced.[6][7] The final development is intended to include a total of thirteen fonts consisting of:
The font is fully Unicode compliant and contains Latin A and B extended character sets, Greek polytonic, and Cyrillic extended. In addition, it has become the first native operating system font to include the Indian rupee sign.[9] The font has been designed primarily for use on screen displays, and its spacing and kerning is optimised for body copy sizes.[6][10]
The Ubuntu Font Licence allows the fonts to be "used, studied, modified and redistributed freely" given that the license terms are met. The license is copyleft and all derivative works must be distributed under the same license. Documents that use the fonts are not required to be licensed under the Ubuntu Font Licence.[20]
I have a Dell XPS 15-9560 laptop with 15.6" 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) IGZO IPS 350-nits Touch-screen, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050 4GB GDDR5.It's having 4K resolution. Right from the grub screen to Ubuntu, it's having very very small fonts. Is there any way i can increase the fonts size?
I messed up my current installation of ubuntu desktop 18.04 LTS and have to reinstall it all over again.Just tried this one now:Adding nouveau.modeset=0 to the boot parameters was much better workaround for smaller fonts and i am having much better resolution now.It's much better solution than others as of now.
In the .gif above scaling starts at 1.38 on a 1920x1080 monitor. Then it is changed to 1 and everything gets tiny, which is normal. Then it is changed to 2 which is ideal for the visually challenged. Once again the icons have fixed pixel size and the font shrinking or expanding under the icon gives the illusion their size is changing.
We are using the Ubuntu Font Family (it's a Google font) as standard for all our marketing collaterals. Since yesterday, I have problems in Photoshop regarding that font. When opening an older PSD file there was a notification that it had to replace the font. That seemed still to work and show the text in Ubuntu font nevertheless. Problems occured when I started editing or adding new text and wanted the font style to change into medium or bold. I could select these font styles from the font drop down menu but it automatically reset everything to light instead. The only font style which seemed to work properly was regular.
I then looked it up in the Creative Cloud App and noticed that there was some kind of font conflict displayed for all Ubuntu font styles except regular. I then deactivated all Ubuntu fonts completely and downloaded the Ubuntu Google font again. When trying to add it to the font library in the Creative Cloud App, however, it fails to process these fonts. The funny thing is, that for the regular style it's different from the rest again. Although deactivated from the Creative App Font Manager it is displayed as "already on device" (see attachment).
BTW - not sure if this is of interest or has anything to do with it: Until yesterday, I used Photoshop 2019 for editing / creating creatives (because it was pinned to my task bar). Yesterday, I opened Photoshop 2021 for the first time. But since this font issue seems to a general problem also shown in the Creative Cloud, this should not account for the problem, I assume...
When I look at the font list in OpenOffice in Ubuntu there are dozens of fonts that all look the same. They are obviously there for various non-latin alphabets but I have not installed those language packs so the fonts all appear as plain sans. It would be nice to get rid of the ones I don't use to shorten the list and make it easier to find the ones I want. It would also speed up the loading time of the word processor. I would also like to install a few replacement fonts so that they are available to all users, (ie. not just by putting them in my .fonts folder).
I found the 'font-manager' package useful to disable (without removing) these international fonts. This seems to solely disable the font for the current user, leaving them in the list for other accounts.
sudo apt-get install font-manager works. Note that as of early 14.04 if you go to Ubuntu Software Center and look up the font-manager package it will give a message about unsolved unmet dependencies due to font-manager requiring lower versions of some dependent packages than the versions installed already in 14.04. Never fear, just use apt-get instead.
I also don't really buy the argument that we are a Ubuntu flavour, so should use the Ubuntu font. The whole (or at least part) of the point of flavours is that we can do things differently from the main distro, use a different DE and apps, AND do the best things we can to integrate those onto a Ubuntu base. So we should do things on merit for our DE for our users, and not because they are Ubuntu. I accept that we do make some compromises in this area, in terms of standard things installed and settings, but I don't feel switching our default, when not mandated, is one of them.
(b) that we are not going to get a gradual or sudden regression should upstream KDE make technical changes to font rendering and scaling, since they are not likely to test with this font. Extra important for backports if we are to maintain quality of user experience with those.
Wasn't this raised some time ago during the transition from Ubuntu fonts to Noto? Of course, I cannot find it, but IIRC, the dispositive factor was not the visual appeal of the font but the broadest possible coverage. Apparently, Noto fonts together cover all the scripts encoded in the Unicode standard. Certainly at the time, Ubuntu did not.
