Bug Description

We'll be switching to Open Sans since it's like 99% similar to Droid Sans (same designer) but has a lot of nice weights available. It's Apache (like Droid Sans).

It just needs debian control file to dump it in the fonts directory.

OK, on my TODO. Too bad I can't propose packages into Debian because of their ****** processes.

Fonts are 200+ kB x 10, definitely needs xz package compression. lp:ubuntu/ttf-droid is a good reference, althought it looks like it may be slightly more complicated than it should. Shnatsel, if you have too much on your todo, feel free to pass this task over to me.

Cody: it would be great if you take care of it. I have a lot more on my RL todo than I can handle.

The package fonts-open-sans now exists in the elementary Daily PPA. I'm gonna polish it more soon.

Okay, just kidding, it seems that we're not switching over to it. However, it's great to have it packaged as it will likely be used for branding and whatnot. IS it currently preinstalled in Luna?

Nope. Shall it be? Midori supports web fonts properly anyway...
