FFe: New upstream version Ubuntu Font Family 0.72 (Ubuntu Mono hinted and Ubuntu Condensed hinted)

[Paul Sladen]

This is an advance-notice FFe request for the (future) version of 'ubuntu-font-family-sources' containing Ubuntu Mono (×4) and Ubuntu Condensed (×1) forms.

These five additional fonts are all being beta-tested in the Ubuntu Font Family beta team:

The intention was to do a roll-up release to move all of these from beta into the main release in time for Feature Freeze. Owing to work commitments and scheduling issues with Dalton Maag completing the hinting on the Ubuntu Mono, this will now not be able to make Ubuntu 11.10 Feature Freeze.

The compressed-size (gzip) of the beta 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family' package containing all thirteen fonts is currently 1.9MB and the final package will be of this order as well:

  $ ls -Sh *.deb
  1.9M ttf-ubuntu-font-family_0.71.2-0ubuntu5+phasedbeta5~oneiric_all.deb
  $ ar t *.deb | grep data.tar
  data.tar.gz
