   5 Overview
   6
   7 The new Ubuntu Font Family was started to enable the personality of
   8 Ubuntu to be seen and felt in every menu, button and dialog.
   9 The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually
  10 hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens.
  11
  12 The scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used by
  13 the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with Ubuntu's
  14 philosophy which states that every user should be able to use their
  15 software in the language of their choice. So the Ubuntu Font Family
  16 project will be extended to cover many more written languages.

  27 ChangeLog
  28
  29 2015-08-21 (Paul Sladen) Ubuntu Font Family version 0.83
  30
  31   Note: This release was created by binary patching from the v0.80
  32   release using the scripts in 'sources/patch-0.80-0.83/' to rebuild
  33   the necessary tables. The release selectively updates only those
  34   proportional .ttf font files exhibiting the bug below bug number;
  35   the Ubuntu Mono monospace font files remain unchanged, being the
  36   original version 0.80 ones.
