Blargh! It's Xenial. Only in Xenial. Wow, and no one else noticed this
for 2 days. I'm sorry. LOL, notice my source link below?

Nicholas, I just ran today's updates (mostly ffmpeg in my case). I
have checked the updates settings: all "install updates from" boxes
checked, updates checked daily, display immediately for both security
and other updates.
The strange little glyph still shows as 0.830 in both the gmail window
and with pango-view.
Checking synaptic, I have ttf-ubuntu-font-family installed. I
searched for other packages with the terms "font ubuntu" and "font
release" but nothing obvious there.
I checked the Ubuntu font with the font viewer application and it's
still reported as 0.83.
I checked my .fonts directory and there are no ubuntu-related fonts
there. Nothing in /usr/local/share/fonts.
In /usr/share/fonts/ubuntu-font-family, all the .ttf files are dated
10 Jul 2015 except the UbuntuMono files which are dated 26 Sep 2011.
I don't see anything in /usr/share/fonts that looks as though it could
be a new release of ubuntu fonts.
I should mention that this machine is upgraded from 15.04 (ie not a
fresh install), in case that matters.

Chris, that's correct. You should have 0.84, which is the new
version. Are you running an up to date Wily?

Nicholas,
What I see when I execute this:
pango-view --font="Ubuntu 48" --markup --text='<span
fallback="false"> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
dog.</span>'
is (all on one line):
1. 0.830 in very small text
2. something that looks like 88 on a 7-segment display
3. a space
4. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
So just to be super-clear, I don't see a ".84" in that
string. I also don't see it in the text of this e-mail; what
I see looks a single glyph whose strokes make 0.830 in very
small letters.
I had an inspiration and checked with my font view
application. It tells me my Ubuntu font is:
Name: Ubuntu
Style: Regular
Type: TrueType font
Version: 0.83
Copyright: Copyright 2011 Canonical Ltd. Licensed under the
Ubuntu Font License 1.0
Does this mean I don't have the new version?

Chris, ahh. Yea, the new version is .84, and you can
confirm you
have it by seeing 0.84 in the beginning:
pango-view --font="Ubuntu 48" --markup --text='<span
fallback="false"> The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
dog.</span>'
The other font you don't have. I removed it from the
directions.
It's from when we did the PPA testing. Thanks for catching
this!

Nicholas, a further question if I may:
I am running 100% up to date Wily.
When, as per the instructions, I execute:
pango-view --font="UbuntuPrerelease0910 48" --markup
--text='<span fallback="false"> The quick brown fox
jumps
over the lazy dog.</span>'
I see what appears to be exactly the same display as
when I
execute
pango-view --font="Deja Vu 48" --markup --text='<span
fallback="false"> The quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy
dog.</span>'
That is, the text looks to be rendered in exactly the same
font: same glyphs, same size, everything. And pretty
clearly
different from plain old Ubuntu.
Any ideas? Is UbuntuPrerelease0910 not really
installed in my
Wily and somehow I'm getting Deja Vu instead? Should I be
asking this question somewhere else?

Some of you have been at this already, but
either way,
please have
a look at the new Ubuntu Font if you are
running
Wily. It
has some
fixes in it, specifically we need to
verify 4 bugs
+ the
Arabic
and Hebrew fixes. Full details can be
found here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ubuntu Font Family/Testing
Happy Testing!
