I can't wait using a real font. All the fonts I tried have uneven rendering, I hope this one fixes it.. :(
When will Ubuntu font be out for testing?

Here's the video of the UDS session where Bruno Maag introduced the font:

I just scrubbed through the video. Does the camera ever actually point to the screen? If not, that's some pretty stupid filming.

And don't forget the awesome plenary talks on Wednesday:

Short, exciting and inspiring.

He's teasing.
Is the presentation from the video 23meg posted available anywhere? I looked through both the Ubuntu wiki and launchpad and couldn't find anything. As I said earlier the video is kind of pointless without seeing what Bruno Maag is talking about.

Why yes, yes it is:
The Ubuntu font - created on Microsoft Windows. :D

The GNU C Compiler - typed up on a proprietary UNIX.
Cool so maverick will have a new font by default? I had been wondering why the hell so many distros use sans as default, its a pretty ugly and space wasting font IMO. One of the first things I do installing any distro is change the font to something nicer like droid sans.

Ok, that's it - I'm back to pen and paper. :P

Find me an enterprise-level font creator that runs on Linux.
Besides, there's no need to be dogmatic about using Windows once in a while.
