The Ubuntu Font Family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts in development during 2010--2011. The development is being funded by Canonical Ltd on behalf the wider Free Software community and the Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is being undertaken by Dalton Maag.

The Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline are a set of fonts for Powerline users. The Powerline symbols is being made by Kim Silkebækken. The patch work is being undertaken by Carl Su.

Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve.

Which font?

TL;DR

  1. Pick your font family and then select from the 'complete' directory.
  • Are you on Windows? Pick a font with the suffix 'Windows Compatible'
  • Are you limited to mono fonts (because of your terminal, etc)? Pick a font with the suffix 'Mono'

Explanation

Once you narrow done your font choice of family (Droid Sans, Inconsolata, etc) and style (bold, italic, etc) you are provided with 3 main folders choices:

  • complete
  • This is most likely the one you want. It includes all of the glyphs from all of the glyph sets. Only caution here is that some fonts have glyphs in the same code point so to include everything some had to be moved to alternate code points.
  • alternative
  • This attempts to contain all permutations of the various glyphs. E.g. You want the font with only Octicons or you want the font with just Font Awesome and Devicons. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder.
  • minimal
  • This contains just the glyphs needed to use vim-devicons. This is mostly provided for historical purposes. This might end up being removed at some point if it ends up causing too much confusion and/or providing little purpose in the grand scheme of things.
