      "The Ubuntu Font Family are libre fonts funded by Canonical Ltd
      on behalf of the Ubuntu project. The font design work and
      technical implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag. The
      typeface is sans-serif, uses OpenType features and is manually
      hinted for clarity on desktop and mobile computing screens. The
      scope of the Ubuntu Font Family includes all the languages used
      by the various Ubuntu users around the world in tune with
      Ubuntu's philosophy which states that every user should be able
      to use their software in the language of their choice. The
      project is ongoing, and we expect the family will be extended to
      cover many written languages in the coming years."
