How can I can share my freeware font with Ubuntu users?

Is there a way to make a package, or change an existing package to include the font I've designed?

Here is a gzipped archive with the font: Labiryntowy_pl.tgz

It includes a rendering of font output to pdf, as well as the .ttf file:

Here is part of the description (translated from Polish via Google):

You'll have to create a package and submit this package for inclusion in Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu developer site has a page Packaging New Software with all this information in a nice overview. It explains:

  • Starting a Package
  • Building the package
  • Submitting for inclusion

Also consider submitting this to Debian as Ubuntu (and a lot more distributions) is based on that, you'll reach an even bigger audience.

First you need to release it under an open license, such as SIL Open Font License. Freeware things are not accepted by Debian's (nor Ubuntu's) repositories--everything must be free software.
