At long last, we have a Beta of the Ubuntu Monospace font available! (Request membership to the ubuntu-typeface-interest team in Launchpad for access.)
Here's a screenshot of some code open in Byobu in the new font!
It really has a light, modern feel to it. I like the distinct differences between "0" and "O", and "1" and "l", which are often tricky with monospace fonts. Cheers to the team working on this -- I really appreciate the efforts, and hope these land on the console/tty at some point too!
I've only encountered one bug so far, which looks to have been filed already, so I added a comment to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/677134 I think the "i" and "l" are a little too similar. if-fi statements in shell are kind of hard to read.
Anyway, nice job -- looking forward to using this font more in the future!
Enjoy,

The lower case "i" is just a bit funky.
