2011-09-29 16:32:02 Paul Sladen summary UVFe & FFe: New upstream version of Ubuntu Font Family ~0.80 UVFe & FFe: New upstream version of Ubuntu Font Family 0.80
2011-09-29 16:50:25 Paul Sladen description (This is a placeholder for tracking and planning purposes; the necessary files have not yet been built or finished by Dalton Maag yet, the version number is only indicative, and the upstream release has not yet been made). The upstream status can be seen at: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80 Such a new upstream version would be expected to include five extra .ttf font files; one for Ubuntu Condensed (already complete), and five covering Ubuntu Mono, a monospace set that is presently in the process of being hinted by Vincent Connare. The files covering Condensed and monospace are: Ubuntu-C.ttf (360 kB uncompressed, ~175 kB compressed) UbuntuMono-R.ttf UbuntuMono-RI.ttf UbuntuMono-B.ttf UbuntuMono-BI.ttf An available-size budget of 900 kB would be required (based on an estimated of 180kB, compressed, per .ttf). Should an UVFe and FFe be granted, this would allow providing fixes for: Bug #853855 ("PUA: ensure that Ubuntu Circle of Friends logo is full size") Bug #640382 ("Wish for addition of a monospaced member to the family") Bug #791076 ("Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives bold-italic") Bug #820493 ("Mono: No hinting yet - Ubuntu Beta Mono font looks jagged") The additional presence of these fonts would be unlikely affect the appearance of the Ubuntu experience unless they were actually used by a theme configuration or otherwise enabled by the user. Upstream release announcement: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/font/2011-September/000001.html Upstream status, release notes and changelog can be found at:   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80 The new upstream version include five extra .ttf font files; one for Ubuntu Condensed, and four covering Ubuntu Mono, a monospace set that is presently in the process of being hinted by Vincent Connare. The compressed, and uncompressed sizes of the additional files involved at: $ for i in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu{-C,Mono-}*.ttf ; do echo `basename $i`; wc -c < $i ; gzip -c < $i | wc -c ; done | xargs -n3 echo | tr " " "\t" | awk 'BEGIN{print "Name\t\tUncompressed\tCompressed";U=0;C=0}{U+=$2;C+=$3;print}END{print "Totals:\t\t\t"int(U/1024)"kB",int(C/1024)"kB"}' Name Uncomp Compressed Ubuntu-C.ttf 350420 169738 UbuntuMono-BI.ttf 216208 128324 UbuntuMono-B.ttf 191400 108844 UbuntuMono-RI.ttf 210216 116292 UbuntuMono-R.ttf 205748 113208 Totals: 1146kiB 621KiB An available-size budget of ~621kB kB would be required. Should an UVFe and FFe be granted, this would allow providing fixes for:    Bug #853855 ("PUA: ensure that Ubuntu Circle of Friends logo is full size")    Bug #640382 ("Wish for addition of a monospaced member to the family")    Bug #791076 ("Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives bold-italic")    Bug #820493 ("Mono: No hinting yet - Ubuntu Beta Mono font looks jagged") The additional presence of these fonts would be unlikely affect the appearance of the Ubuntu experience unless they were actually used by a theme configuration or otherwise enabled by the user. The release candidate (0.80~rc) packages have been on-test for several days by ~2,000 people inside Canonical and the Ubuntu font beta team. The only issues picked up so far are with sub-optimal hinting, but this is known to be a work-in-progress, with unfinished hinting being delivered by Dalton Maag to enable a week of testing and inclusion before the Ubuntu Freeze deadline.

Hinting is an optimisation stage that distorts the shapes in the font for black-and-white only rendering and it is not necessary for the functioning of the fonts in the environment required. Upstream version 0.80 release announcement:   https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/font/2011-September/000001.html Upstream status, release notes and changelog can be found at:   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80 The new upstream version includes five extra .ttf font files; one for Ubuntu Condensed, and four covering Ubuntu Mono, a monospace set that is presently in the process of being hinted by Vincent Connare. The compressed, and uncompressed sizes of the additional files involved at:   $ for i in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu{-C,Mono-}*.ttf ; do echo `basename $i`; wc -c < $i ; gzip -c < $i | wc -c ; done | xargs -n3 echo | tr " " "\t" | awk 'BEGIN{print "Name\t\tUncompressed\tCompressed";U=0;C=0}{U+=$2;C+=$3;print}END{print "Totals:\t\t\t"int(U/1024)"kB",int(C/1024)"kB"}'   Name Uncomp Compressed   Ubuntu-C.ttf 350420 169738   UbuntuMono-BI.ttf 216208 128324   UbuntuMono-B.ttf 191400 108844   UbuntuMono-RI.ttf 210216 116292   UbuntuMono-R.ttf 205748 113208   Totals: 1146kiB 621KiB An available-size budget of ~621kB kB would be required. It is intended that the increased of 621kB in disk space will be traded by shipping roughly three wallpapers less. Should an UVFe and FFe be granted, this would allow providing fixes for:    Bug #853855 ("PUA: ensure that Ubuntu Circle of Friends logo is full size")    Bug #640382 ("Wish for addition of a monospaced member to the family")    Bug #791076 ("Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives bold-italic")    Bug #820493 ("Mono: No hinting yet - Ubuntu Beta Mono font looks jagged") The additional presence of these fonts would be unlikely affect the appearance of the Ubuntu experience unless they were actually used by a theme configuration or otherwise enabled by the user. The release candidate (0.80~rc) packages have been on-test for several days by ~2,000 people inside Canonical and the Ubuntu font beta team. The only issues picked up so far are with sub-optimal hinting, but this is known to be a work-in-progress, with non-final hinting for the Ubuntu Mono being delivered by Dalton Maag on 2011-09-22 in order to enable testing and inclusion before the Ubuntu Freeze deadline. Hinting is an optimisation stage that distorts the shapes in the font for black-and-white only rendering and it is not necessary for the functioning of the fonts in the environment required.
