I would say that adjusting the chi is a good idea, and that we should
explore the options for nu. In our own library InterFace makes a
reasonable distinction between nu and v without getting overly flowery,
but I can't say for sure whether the same approach would suit Ubuntu's
design. Most sans fonts don't seem to bother making a distinction as the
options are limited where there are no serifs.
