(Get the code!)
Hello Lulzim, thank you for your interest in the Monospace/Terminal variant of the Ubuntu Font Family.
As you've probably realised from trying to use a proportionally space (variable-width) font as a fixed-width terminal font, it doesn't work particular well! In a variably-spaced font (such as the base members of the Ubuntu Font Family), different letters are different widths; so the 'm' and 'w' are wider than 'l' or 'i'. In a monospace font designed for terminal use (as you're trying to do), the letters are designed to all be the same width, so all the letters fit conveniently on the grid.
There is already a filestone for the Monospace variants for terminal use as part of the initial Dalton Maag phase and so I'm attaching this bug report to that milestone, but I might mark it as a duplicate later. You can find out about the long-term coverage of the Ubuntu Font Family:
