Yes, that's true, specially at big sizes. >> Apart from the official SVG's, is there any specification about the >> paths/objects/how-to-construct the word "ubuntu"? > > Not that I know.

And need ;) Strictly speaking, I only need the SVG for what I'm going to do (I don't know, probably a wallpaper or something like that), but I would love to see some kind of formal specification. I think I'm going to make one, even if it is only for me. I'll take the metrics from the SVG if I can, although it is very difficult, at least using only Inkscape. Maybe some guides and the rectangle tool may suffice for measuring. I don't think anybody will be interested in the information, but just in case if I do the work I'll share in my homepage and I will announce it here. I'm a bit busy at the moment but I'm eager to do the specification, so I think I'll do it sooner or later. >> BTW, I've checked your design blog and I really like your style.

Your "jaunty jackalope countdown" graphics have been in my homepage for nearly a month, to tell people when the jackalopes were coming!
