| Mar 20, 2014 at 4:19 | comment | added | user259419 | @Jin It's all very confusing...I don't know if the font "UbuntuRegular" (no space) is actually different from the "Ubuntu" font, in the "Regular" form/weight or not. In my testing, they did seem different. I'd say: just find the newest version of "Ubuntu" or "UbuntuRegular" & if that don't have this issue, use it! | |

@Jin No, don't do that. Actually, it appears that Ubuntu.com is using the font "Ubuntu" (not "UbuntuRegular"), via the Google Fonts API. You are specifying font-family: 'UbuntuRegular',Ubuntu,'Bitstream Vera Sans','DejaVu Sans',Tahoma,sans-serif;...you are forcing the "UbuntuRegular" font (with no space, if that matters) to override the preference of "Ubuntu". Your version is hosted on sstatic.net, can you provide a link to where you originally got your version?...is there an official download for it? Remember, the simplest fix is changing all 13px fonts on the site to 14px

| Mar 19, 2014 at 7:19 | comment | added | user259419 | About the dupe: I'm sorry about that, but that dupe doesn't mention "UbuntuRegular" in any way...so it did not come up in my searches. Also, if this is a known issue (from almost a year ago)...why hasn't it been dealt with? I agree with duping the old one to this one (sorry @soandos but your old report has nothing "searchable" in it {hence, I didn't find it!}...so the dupe has to be in this direction {yours to mine, instead of mine to yours})...but I just wanted to mention: I did search before I posted this & did not find that old report. | |
| Mar 19, 2014 at 1:27 | comment | added | user249743 | @EliahKagan I agree we should close the old one and leave this report as it's more detailed. | |

| Mar 18, 2014 at 23:55 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Considering that this bug report is more detailed and up to date, should we close that one (which @André found) as a duplicate of this? Or are they to be considered different bugs? (Or something else...) | |
| Mar 18, 2014 at 21:51 | comment | added | Jin | when this site first launched the Ubuntu font was still in beta. I'm also using it as a embedded web font. A question for the community is: should I ditch web font method and simply call font-family: ubuntu, arial, san-serif instead? This is what ubuntu.com does. | |
| Mar 18, 2014 at 15:39 | comment | added | user249743 | Looks like there's already a bug report for this : g's look like q's font oddity. | |
