The Ubuntu Font Family packages are being inserted into order (still supported) releases of Ubuntu as they are released. As of February 2011, those older releases are:

  • Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
  • Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid
  • Ubuntu 09.10 Karmic
  • Ubuntu 08.04 LTS Hardy

If you have software updates enabled then you should be able to select the package and install it from the Ubuntu Software Centre or using:

  • sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-font-family

For more details on the process (or to help validate that new releases are suitable for backporting as Stable Release Updates), see:

  • bug #650889 Ubuntu Font Family would be valuable for older releases
  • bug #709980 SRU ubuntu-font-family 0.70.1 for all
