Canonical announced a few minutes ago in a press release that the Ubuntu project, with Google's help, released today the amazing Ubuntu Font Family to the world. The font is available to any web designer from the Google Font Directory.

The Ubuntu Font Family was especially designed by Canonical for the Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) operating system. Starting with today, any web developer can add the Ubuntu font on their websites. This means that visitors will be able to see the text on the respective webpages as it was intended, even if they don't have the font installed on their computers!

To add the Ubuntu Font Family, you'll have to select "Ubuntu" from here and insert the two lines of CSS code provided in the "Use this font" section. The complete open-source archive of the font is available for download right now from Softpedia, here. The Ubuntu Font Family has support for Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

With this great and wonderful news, Canonical and the developer behind the Ubuntu project wanted to say Happy Holidays to all of their faithful users and customers. Merry Christmas everyone!
