Upstream version 0.80 release announcement:

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/font/2011-September/000001.html

Upstream status, release notes and changelog can be found at:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+milestone/0.80

The new upstream version include five extra .ttf font files; one for
Ubuntu Condensed, and four covering Ubuntu Mono, a monospace set that is
presently in the process of being hinted by Vincent Connare.  The
compressed, and uncompressed sizes of the additional files involved at:

  $ for i in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu{-C,Mono-}*.ttf 
; do echo `basename $i`; wc -c < $i ; gzip -c < $i | wc -c ; done | xargs -n3 
echo | tr " " "\t" | awk 'BEGIN{print 
"Name\t\tUncompressed\tCompressed";U=0;C=0}{U+=$2;C+=$3;print}END{print 
"Totals:\t\t\t"int(U/1024)"kB",int(C/1024)"kB"}'
  Name                  Uncomp  Compressed
  Ubuntu-C.ttf          350420  169738
  UbuntuMono-BI.ttf     216208  128324
  UbuntuMono-B.ttf      191400  108844
  UbuntuMono-RI.ttf     210216  116292
  UbuntuMono-R.ttf      205748  113208
  Totals:               1146kiB 621KiB

An available-size budget of ~621kB kB would be required.  Should an UVFe
and FFe be granted, this would allow providing fixes for:

   Bug #853855 ("PUA: ensure that Ubuntu Circle of Friends logo is full size")
   Bug #640382 ("Wish for addition of a monospaced member to the family")
   Bug #791076 ("Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives 
bold-italic")
   Bug #820493 ("Mono: No hinting yet - Ubuntu Beta Mono font looks jagged")

The additional presence of these fonts would be unlikely affect the
appearance of the Ubuntu experience unless they were actually used by a
theme configuration or otherwise enabled by the user.  The release
candidate (0.80~rc) packages have been on-test for several days by
~2,000 people inside Canonical and the Ubuntu font beta team.  The only
issues picked up so far are with sub-optimal hinting, but this is known
to be a work-in-progress, with unfinished hinting being delivered by
Dalton Maag to enable a week of testing and inclusion before the Ubuntu
Freeze deadline.
