First, the SVG versions are made with Adobe Illustrator: are there versions made with Inkscape or other tool, containing shapes instead of paths? Second, is there any official specification for the "Circle of friends" and the "ubuntu" word, containing sizes, distances, shapes, etc. If, for whatever reason, I were to make a logo from scratch it would be very useful to know this information, which can be only obtained by measuring by hand in the SVG. Third, about the letters in "ubuntu" and "linux for human beings": was a font used or all letters are made from shapes? The strap line looks like Bitstream Vera/Deja Vu sans serif, but "ubuntu" looks like hand made shapes. Again, knowing the sizes and the shapes would be great. When I'm talking about having shape-and-size information I mean something like the PDF version currently available on the Artwork/Official page (named "with proper gridlines"), but more ellaborate. Probably the original author of the logos has this information :? I think this would be useful, because although SVG and PNG versions of the logos are provided, they are not always the best sources to work with the logo: having the dimensions, distances, shapes used, etc. is a "format-agnostic" way of telling people how a proper Ubuntu logo has to be drawn, something along the lines of what the GNOME people did with their logo. In the worst case, a SVG file containing the paths with no "transform" items would be enough, although the Circle of Friends is better described, IMHO, as circles and not paths... I know all this is a weird petition but I would find this information very useful.

It should be easily downloaded and installed on the system. So the kerning for the letters is already set in the font. For the first question,,, I do not think these were made in illustrator at at all,,, illustrator files do open well in inkscape from my experience and the Ubuntu logo opens and edits very well in Inkscape. Unless you are getting another version from somewhere that I am not aware of these were made in Inkscape. coz
