2011-10-04 08:11:17 Paul Sladen description Counterpart to bug #861334 ("Ship Ubuntu Mono .psf as default console font in Ubuntu 11.10"), but easier to implement. Mark Shuttleworth has requested that Ubuntu Mono Reguloar be used as the default monospace font for console use in Ubuntu 11.10. Hard Freeze was 72 hours ago. This would require: 1. Upstream release of Ubuntu Font Family 0.80. DONE. 2. Distro upload of Ubutu Font Family 0.80 minus Medium for oneiric. DONE. 3. Bumping "Ubuntu Mono" to first preference in 'fontconfig-config' package. This can be done in the files: /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf although Droid Sans has another interesting approach in: /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-ttf-droid-sans-mono-fonts.conf which could be tested. I have run this past a member of the Ubuntu Doc team, who are happy with it, noting that none of the documentation screenshots cover monospace fonts. If there is a case, to the untrained eye one monospace is much like another and textual descriptions would be unaffected. The only potentional outcome that could do with further investigation is how to increase the default font size by ~12% to compensate for Ubuntu Mono following Inconsolata's metrics, rather than DejaVu Sans Mono's metric (the present default).

Bumping "Ubuntu Mono" to first preference in 'fontconfig-config' package. or: 3b. Setting GNOME 'monospace-font-name' preference via gsettings in 'ubuntu-artwork'. This can be done for 'fontconfig-config' in the files:   /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf although Droid Sans has another interesting approach in:      /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-ttf-droid-sans-mono-fonts.conf which could be tested. Or for Ubuntu Artwork via a gsettings schema override (providing a default value for a key if no explicit value is otherwise set). For 'ubuntu-artwork' this would be done by setting 'monospace-font-name=' in the same place that 'font-name=' is set. I have run the change of default monospace font past a member of the Ubuntu Doc team, who are happy with it, noting that none of the documentation screenshots cover monospace fonts. If there is a case, to the untrained eye one monospace is much like another and textual descriptions would be unaffected. The only potentional outcome that could do with further investigation is how to increase the default font size by ~12% to compensate for Ubuntu Mono following Inconsolata's metrics, rather than DejaVu Sans Mono's metric (the present default) and investigation into potential integration side-effects/regressions.
