What font is AU using?

Question

This is more of a site question, but what font is this site using? I'd like to make it my desktop font too, it's rather interesting and looks nice.

Answer 1

Looking at the CSS files for the site, it appears that the preferred font is the Ubuntu font, which you should find on your machine in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family

Edit

To use the font on your site, you would have to convert it to a Web Font, as the developers of AU did. Here's a snippet of their CSS:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'Ubuntu';
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: 300;
    src: url('img/ubuntu-L-webfont.eot');
    src: local('Ubuntu Light'), local('Ubuntu-Light'), url('img/ubuntu-L-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('img/ubuntu-L-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('img/ubuntu-L-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('img/ubuntu-L-webfont.svg#UbuntuLight') format('svg');
}

@font-face {
    font-family: 'UbuntuRegular';
    src: url('img/ubuntu-R-webfont.eot');
    src: url('img/ubuntu-R-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('img/ubuntu-R-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('img/ubuntu-R-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('img/ubuntu-R-webfont.svg#UbuntuRegular') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal;
}

You would have to do your own searching for converting to Web Fonts - not something that I have done.
