Salut,
tiré du
blog de Mark Shuttleworth daté du 4 mars dernier, et qui annonçait la nouvelle image d'Ubuntu:
Mark Shuttleworth a écritA new Ubuntu font
We have commissioned a new font to be developed both for the logo’s of Ubuntu and Canonical, and for use in the interface. The font will be called Ubuntu, and will be a modern humanist font that is optimised for screen legibility. It will be published under an open font license, and considered part of the trade dress of Ubuntu, which will limit its relevance for software interfaces outside of Ubuntu but leave it free for use across the web and in printed documents.
It will take a few months for the font to be finalised, initial elements will be final in the next week which will be sufficient for the logo and other bits and pieces, but I expect to see that font widely used in 10.10. The work has been commissioned from world-renowned fontographers Dalton Maag, who have expressed excitement at the opportunity to publish an open font and also a font that they know will be used daily by millions of people.
En bref: la nouvelle police s'appelle Ubuntu, elle sera libre, pour l'instant seules les lettres nécessaires au logo Ubuntu ont été créées; elle ne sera complétée que d'ici quelques mois. La police devrait être abondamment utilisée dans la prochaine version 10.10 d'Ubuntu.
