As "Ubuntu" (proportional) and "Ubuntu Mono" have different family names it would probably make sense to split the binary packages produced into two .debs built at the same time—this would allow installing one or the other. Doing this as a one-off would be painful, but it would be relatively quick (5–10 minutes to actually change ./debian/{control,*.install} and then an hour or two testing upgrade testing combinations) to split these at the point of doing the next release.
It makes sense to do this at the same time as bug #851457, as the rename to the New Debian Font Standard packaging names requires the same operations, and this would turn two rounds into a single round. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-font-family-sources in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863358 Title: [pkg] Can't easily use Ubuntu without using Ubuntu Mono Status in Ubuntu Font Family: New Status in ubuntu-font-family-sources package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I find the Ubuntu font fairly attractive. On the other hand, I find the Ubuntu Mono font unpleasant and likely to slow down my work. I understand it is a matter of personal taste, but the reasons should be obvious from the attached image. On popular operating systems, it is easy to use one font but not another, even if they are related. I suggest that this be possible on Ubuntu with the Ubuntu fonts too. Probably the simplest way of implementing this would be to package them separately.
