NEW UBUNTU FONTS IN 10.10

[craig10x]

Hi: I was just reading about the new Ubuntu Fonts that will be included by default in Ubuntu 10.10....And saw some screenshots...looks like an nice improvement...

I assume this will be included in Kubuntu 10.10 as well?

I have been running the live cd of Kubuntu 10.10 but wasn't planning on installing until release...I didn't see anything about it in the Kubuntu 10.10 beta live cd...Is it on there or am i missing something? I would love to play with it on the live beta cd....if that is possible...

If anyone can fill me in about this...would appreciate it and any other information you have about it...
Thanks!

I guess no one here has been following it...oh well, i was just curious about it as i happened on it while doing a yahoo search and noticed there was a number of articles about it....I assume that if it is going to be in Ubuntu it would also be in Kubuntu as well...because they mentioned something about Kubuntu users getting notifications also about trying the "beta" of it as well (if they were registered with "sourceforge.net"...and supposedly, it was going to be included as the default in 10.10...)

We are considering setting this as the default screen font in 10.10,
opinions welcome...


Scott Kitterman:
I would put this slightly differently. Once the font is released under open
licensing terms we will consider it...
