The Ubuntu font has always been rather sad in terms of execution in addition to being rather derivative of Fedora's official font. Yes, Christian's work is exemplary and elevates the font to a professional level regarding spacing and ascents etc. Judging from his blog post comments however, I can understand why he probably isn't absolutely thrilled with his intended audience. Short of getting Christian's work implemented as the new official Ubuntu font, there are only two options as far as I can tell: * Manually adjust the bleak font spacing to help rid the nasty typographic colour. * Use the official font _only_ for the term Ubuntu. It simply doesn't qualify as a font for other uses unless we as a group are happy with a rather amateur presence. I would give a huge vocal plus one to Ken if he can get Christian's work on the map regarding the power structure. Licensing can apparently be sorted out as he seems open to making changes. Sincerely, TJS
