This bug also affects phoneticists, seing as the International Phonetic Alphabet – the universal means of notating language sounds – distinguishes clealy between [x], a velar fricative, and [χ], a uvular fricative. These are two different sounds that may distinguish one word from another, and therefore the distinction is a very important one.

Compare https:/ /en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Voiceless_ uvular_ fricative and https:/ /en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Voiceless_ velar_fricative. It's absolutely necessary to fix this, or the Ubuntu font face cannot be used for describing the phonetics of languages that use a uvular stop, which quite a few do – see the first link.
