(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:

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.
