Could you consider including the visually-impaired friendly
Atkinson Hyperlegible Font?

To me it looks like a reasonable font to make selectable in
Ubuntu. But before that can be really considered, it would need
to be packaged in a sensible way for Debian. Even if the
Atkinson Hyperlegible font files are actually included in the
texlive-fonts-extra package, they would need to be broken out
into a separate package.
Package created:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/fonts-atkinson-hyperlegible
Maybe that is sufficient. A user can do:
sudo apt install fonts-atkinson-hyperlegible
and pick Atkinson Hyperlegible in the web browser and/or Tweaks.
Otherwise, if we want to include it on the ISO, I'm assuming that
we should have a blessing from the desktop team before submitting a
MIR.
Thank-you - that is really useful for visually impaired operators
(and that includes those with reasonably good vision that is starting
to go fuzzy at close range!).
Being used in the installers (or an easily found Accessibility
option) would be icing on the cake.
Hmm.. The installer is beyond the scope of my fonts overhaul project. :/
Without knowing, I would guess that the fonts used in the desktop
installer are determined by the flavor it installs. So in case of
standard Ubuntu it's probably the Ubuntu font for latin scripts, while
it may be Noto Sans for some of the flavors.
But I may be wrong. And in any case it may be possible to set the
installer font specifically. If you want to make such a request, one way
is an issue here:
https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues
Having to hunt for such support often makes those needing it feel
like second-class citizens yet for something like this there is very
little, if any, down-side to everyone using this by default
(especially in an installer where the defaults should cater for all
use-cases where there is no opportunity to customise the early
experience - particularly for newcomers and novices).
