I'm not suggesting we put it in and make it the default font. I'm merely
suggesting making it available on a broader basis. Judging by who has
commented on this bug, the font seems to be available exclusively to
people in Canonical?

Certainly, and I'd love to see this happen in Oneiric. For now, though,
I'd be perfectly happy if I could just get to use this lovely new font
in my terminal and my code editor. Heck, it doesn't even have to be
packaged! A downloadable ttf marked "alpha snapshot - don't use for
print or else!" would be *awesome*.
