Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog

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. How to use custom fonts. Pubspec.yaml option definitions. The family determines the name of the font, which you use in the fontFamily property of a TextStyle object. The asset is a path to the font file, relative to the pubspec.yaml file.

Like Linux desktops, free-licensed fonts started as imitations of proprietary equivalents. Today, original free fonts are becoming increasingly common, but the demand for free equivalents of proprietary fonts remains. This demand is unlikely to disapear because, although most professional designers think in terms of proprietary fonts, clients are often unwilling to pay for them. Moreover, free software advocates prefer free fonts to go along with their free applications.

Exact equivalents are rare because of fear of copyright restrictions. A match as high as 75% is rare. Some equivalents, such as the Liberation fonts, are only metrical – that is, they take up the same space as their proprietary equivalents, but the letters themselves are different. In other cases, the free fonts are inspired by their proprietary counterparts, but the designer never intended exact copies, and the most you can expect is a general resemblance. A few proprietary fonts, such as Optima, have no free equivalent at all, so far as I can see. For this reason, the listings in the table below are mostly the closest equivalents, and rarely exact replicas.

  • # System font snippets from Atom ## Install Go to Edit Preferences then go to the install tab and search for system-fonts-snippets. ## Usage Type mono, sans or serif and hit the enter key to auto complete. ## Snippets mono.
  • So I created a website on mac using Django, Python, HTML and CSS, which uses quite a lot of Century Gothic font. However the website will be run on Linux and since Linux does not have the font Century Gothic, it looks really bad. I need a way to make the Century Gothic font work on Linux.
  • This is why Ubuntu and other Linux distributions use an open source fonts 'Liberation fonts' to substitute Microsoft fonts by default. The Liberation Fonts were created by Red Hat to substitute Arial, Arial Narrow, Times New Roman and Courier New as their width is the same.

Most of these fonts can be found on Google Fonts. The list is as complete as I can make it If you have any other equivalents, let me know and I'll add them to the list.
