Christian Robertson released an improved font
(http://betatype.com/node/36) but it was made in fontlab rather than
with Ubuntu tools, making it difficult for the Artwork Team to
maintain the font. Part of the work may be to integrate his changes,
but looking over the changes he's made I'm not sure I agree with all
of them.

I appreciate the offers to find another font, but I'd rather put my
effort into something unique to Ubuntu than just give up.  If the
above works, then I think we can have a much better font by intrepid
release.  At the very least, can we agree that the g glyph shipped in
hardy is not correct?
