For this, a set of box-drawing and solid-fill characters have been included in the UbuntuBeta Mono. We also need to test the technical aspects of the monospace font in as many terminals as possible, including the line-spacing. We need to test the readability of the font, particular the Cyrillic and Greek which have had less testing. (Please try to have used the font by testing for one week in your normal use to help filter out knee-jerk reactions). The commas and quotes also gain “typewriter” serif tails.įor more details (along with experimental the PDF diagrams) see bug #677134 (“Style: Mono: discern shape of serifs for i l t “). ![]() ![]() In the end the ‘r’ was finalised without needing a serif, but the other glyphs have been provided with serifs of some form in order to “fill out” the whole of the cell in which they sit: the numeral ‘1’ has a slab serif across the bottom, and for ‘f’ and ‘t’ the cross-bar goes the full width across instead of just the right-hand side. The main Latin-based characters that vary are "j1flirt". In Cyrillic Kursive (italic) the character forms often change completely. The ‘a’ becomes single-storey matching the proportional italic and the letters ‘a’ ‘d’ ‘u’ gain tails in Latin. Ubuntu Mono Italic (fixed-width) at the bottom, is not just a slanted version of the monospace.Ubuntu Mono Regular (fixed-width) in the middle, making characters work is not just a case of squeezing harder! One needs to find a designed alternative: the ‘m’ has a raised middle stem helping to keep the sensation of lightness and space, and for the at-sign the surrounding circle does half a revolution less, leaving the ‘a’ at the top instead of the bottom.In a proportionally-spaced font the designer has a wide array of options in terms of setting the advance-width of a character, or optimising the kerning by setting customised spacing for certain pairs of letters next to each other (‘AV’, ‘Te’) Ubuntu Regular (proportional) on the top line, notice the ‘m’ and both much wider than the versions below.The Ubuntu Mono Bold follows this principle. On a typewriter or line-printer, creating “bold” is a matter of printing over the top, building up the ink but keeping the same spacing. ![]() ![]() Just like a typewriter there are 12 characters per inch at 12 point. The full set are true monospace fonts, each character being exactly 0.5em wide and 1.0em high, regardless of the weight. The Ubuntu Mono consists of four fonts: regular, bold, italic and bold-italic. Depending on how many issues are found it can then proceed to being released via and then finally into a future version of the Ubuntu operating system.ĭevelopment on the Ubuntu Mono started back in August/September 2010 with Amélie Bonet at Dalton Maag taking the lead. It’s now at the state where it’s ready to share with the early-access beta team. Like all of the work on the Ubuntu Font Family, the monospace has been working its way through the phased testing process, gradually being made available to more users, as issues are improved and developed. Hardly a day has gone by in the last six-months without the design team being asking when the Ubuntu Mono monospace is going to be available. ![]()
