[Bug 1003480] Re: please consider shipping Ubuntu font in the initramfs-tools

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

I would not want to pre-render fonts due to
- different screen resolutions / DPI across the machines
- (?!) bisecting language packs and post-processing them

On a side note, I'm not an expert in fontconfig but it looks like /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf never prefers ubuntu font.
Separate bug I guess.

          # and copy the font support files needed in order to actually display
          # any text

          mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d
          cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf ${DESTDIR}/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/
          cp /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/fonts.conf
          cp -L /etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf ${DESTDIR}/etc/fonts/conf.d

  
  Please consider using Ubuntu font, is the glyph coverage is comparable.
