[nc] Ship Ubuntu Mono .psf as default console font in Ubuntu 11.10
Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Further to bug #724022 ("Wishlist: Enable use of Ubuntu Mono as .psf
console-setup font"), Mark Shuttleworth requested that that Ubuntu
Mono bitmaps be used as the default Ubuntu Mono font for console use
in Ubuntu 11.10.

Ubuntu 11.10 Hard Freeze is in 32 hours time. This would require:
1. Upstream release of Ubuntu Font Family 0.80. A release candidate has
been out for a couple of days with no reports of show stoppers
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80)
2. Distro upload of Ubutu Font Family 0.80 minus Medium for oneiric
3. Accepting 'fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console' binary (built from the same
source) into universe
4. Promoting 'fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console' to main
5. MIR for 'otf2bdf'
6. MIR for 'bdf2psf'
7. Adjusting of seeds to add 'fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console' to
'ubuntu-standard'
8. Increasing CD/Image size by 18 kB in all cases. (By not building
Italic/Bold Italic this would decrease to ~10 kB)
This would get 'consolefonts' installed, but would require users to
manually install it. This would not require changes to screenshots or
documentation adjusts as nothing in the default has changed. To
subsequently set as default would require:
9. '/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-setup.config' adjustments; the desired font
capacity is limited; this sets the particular subset for
Latin/Greek/Cyrillic/Arabic etc. We cannot replace all of these.
10. We don't have sufficient glyph coverage to replace all of these.
11. The snapshot of the hinted Ubuntu Mono fonts from Vincent
Connare/Dalton Maag on 2011-09-22 are a vast improvement, but are still a work
in progress.
12. Regenerating Ubuntu server screenshots
13. Adjusting documentation slightly, although likely minor

I just tried it and thought it didn't look very good at low resolutions,
perhaps I tried the wrong version (I am on Xenial). I don't think we had
the font specifically optimised for the sort so 8x13 - 8x18 resolutions
used by console fonts, and of course there is no such thing as hinting.
Can anybody else weigh on on the merits?

[Touch-packages] [Bug 861334] Re: [nc] Ship Ubuntu Mono .psf as default console font in Ubuntu 11.10
If other people want to test:
sudo apt-get install fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console
dpkg -L fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console | grep -m1 .psf | xargs sudo setfont
-C /dev/tty2
and then it's possible to flick between:
Ctrl-Alt-F1 (tty1 showing Ubuntu Mono Regular rendered to 8x16)
Ctrl-Alt-F2 (tty2 showing default: Terminus)
Ctrl-Alt-F7 (GUI desktop)
The hinting information is used for generation of the bitmaps, but it's
pretty sub-optimal. Rather than attempt to improve the hinting just to
export to a bitmap …it would probably be faster/more efficient to take
the Ubuntu Mono design principles and hunt and peck pixels in a bitmap
editor as everyone did in the 1990s.
This would then not be derived either, and so with a BSD/MIT/PD licence
it could be built to fall back on existing Terminus and so provide both
useful coverage and the slight variations of the 'i' 'l', 'm' for the
look and feel (because of the limited number of pixels most glyphs in
terminal tend towards looking the same.
