Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense) wrote : Build AFM versions of the Ubuntu Font Family during build time, for use with LaTeX

At the moment it is not possible to use the Ubuntu Font Family in LaTeX without importing it manually. It would be great if this font would be made available in LaTeX by default, so you can choose to use a modern font without too much of a hassle.

Vincent-Xavier Jumel posted an article on his blog with some instructions for converting the font to AFM at <http://blog.thetys-retz.net/post/2010/11/01/Importing-Ubuntu-Font-Family-in-LaTeX>.

I'm requesting to generate this AFM file at build time. We could then make LaTeX recommend this package, so every user on Ubuntu who installs LaTeX will be able to use the font straight away.
