| This is the FONTLOG file for the Ubuntu Font Family and attempts to follow |
| the recommendations at: http://scripts.sil.org/OFL-FAQ_web#43cecb44 |
| |
| |
| Overview |
| |
| The new Ubuntu Font Family was started to enable the personality of |
| Ubuntu to be seen and felt in every menu, button and dialog. |
| The typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually |
| hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens. |
| |
| The scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used by |
| the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with Ubuntu's |
| philosophy which states that every user should be able to use their |
| software in the language of their choice. So the Ubuntu Font Family |
| project will be extended to cover many more written languages. |
| |
| |
| History |
| |
| The Ubuntu Font Family has been creating during 2010 and 2011. As of |
| September 2011 coverage is provided for Latin, Cyrillic and Greek across |
| Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold-Italic. Further work was uptaken during |
| 2015. |

| ChangeLog |
| |
| 2015-08-21 (Paul Sladen) Ubuntu Font Family version 0.83 |
| |
| Note: This release was created by binary patching from the v0.80 |
| release using the scripts in 'sources/patch-0.80-0.83/' to rebuild |
| the necessary tables. The release selectively updates only those |
| proportional .ttf font files exhibiting the bug below bug number; |
| the Ubuntu Mono monospace font files remain unchanged, being the |
| original version 0.80 ones. |
