“When you think open source, chances are you think
software. You may not know that there are open-source fonts as
well. Today, Google and Ubuntu have released a new free, open font
to the Web: the Ubuntu Font Family. p>”Web developers will be
able to use Google Font API to select the Ubuntu fonts from the
Google Font Directory. With these fonts embedded on the page, Web
visitors will always see the text and fonts as intended. It doesn’t
matter what Web browser or operating system visitors are using, or
even if the font is not installed on their PC, smartphone, or
tablet, they’ll see the fonts you’ve selected for them. The new
Ubuntu Font Family debuted in Ubuntu 10.10 release and is also
available for download from the Ubuntu Font Family
site.”
