[12:23] <thorwil> hi! does there exist an ubuntu font type, or the is the logo text outline only?
[12:28] <kwwii> there is an installable font
[12:28] <kwwii> ubuntu-title is the name
[12:28] <kwwii> but the font is not the best
[12:36] <thorwil> kwwii: ty. could you expand on 'not the best'? :)
[12:37] <kwwii> it is simply not a very high quality font
[12:45] <nothlit> its been improved lately and added uppercase though
[12:45] <nothlit> i don't think that version's in the repos
[12:47] <thorwil> ooh, seems there are more than 2 versions
[12:47] <thorwil> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntu-art-titlefont
[12:48] <nothlit> that otherone only concerns you if you want to use something other than english
[12:49] <thorwil> actually, i likely only need an u, a c and a k, if at all :)
[08:28] <darkmatter> troy_s, lapo, plus the issue isn't so much one of the pixmap engine as it is lazy coding with gtk apps (and/or poorly document use of gtk in a given app,, take your pick)
[08:29] <darkmatter> the problem is that a lot of applications... even the *lofty* HIG compliant ones dont make proper use of gtk
[08:29] <darkmatter> programmers zig when they should zag, etc... basically use cheap n hackish code on the ui level
[08:30] <darkmatter> which is why some apps are real bastards when it comes to pixmap
[08:31] <darkmatter> an app I keep using a reference (just because the use of gtk is so hackish) is Listen
