Re: [Artwork] Plans for Ubuntu GNOME 14.04

 

No way about changing the logo. We are already following Ubuntu's
guidelines. We have a long name and we have to deal with it (I wish we were
called Gubuntu, but the reality is another one).

Ubuntu Sans only supports Latin, Cyrillic and Greek characters, whilst
Droid Sans supports Armenian, Arabic (not completely sure about this),
Ethiopic, Georgian, Hebrew, Japanese, Thai as well as Latin, Cyrillic and
Greek (and probably more that I'm missing).

I we talk about beautiful typefaces, I would suggest Roboto, but again, I
repeat, *Droid Sans is probably one of the most complete fonts out there*.
We could stay with Cantarell, of course, but I believe offering a
consistent desktop experience for all languages should be an important aim.
Remember that you can always change it to the font of your preference (I
myself will probably change it to Roboto), but the defaults are very
important.

Cheers,

Alfredo
