Hi!

Answer from artwork team:
" we'll have a full roman, greek and cyrillic by around October
the idea with more complex characters and languages
is that we will work with community designers/ young designers who are
interested
and try and get them to work with our design agency "

so, that's all :)

I'm looking forward to it as well
I wonder how they'll handle the Hebrew font (Although they claim they are
experienced with Arabic)
I currently use the Mac font and I like it a lot, very appealing and really
comfortable to read

The new "Ubuntu" font

2010-03-05 Thread Khaled Hosny
Reading Mark Shuttleworth's blog about the new Ubuntu identity, he
mentions work on the new "Ubuntu" font (the font used in the logo), what
catch my eyes was mentioning that it is going to cover Arabic script
among others.

Now, this what I call interesting news ;)

My question, is this font going to be used in the upcoming 10.4 release?
Any idea if there any sample of the Arabic part one can see (I've seen
other Dalton Maag Arabic fonts and it looks promising.

Funnily, I've been planning for an Arabic font with a similar
philosophy, this week I started taking serious steps in this and we are
organising a sort of local workshop to discuss ideas and possibilities of
such a project. May be Ubuntu will save us the trouble and I then can go
and work on other font on my not-so-short list :)

Regards,
 Khaled
