Although there is supposed to be a monospace font in the family, the default package doesn't come with it. I tried getting ttf-ubuntu-monospace but there aren't any packages with that name. How/where can I get the monospace font?

Ubuntu Monospace comes preinstalled with Ubuntu 11.10 and it is the default terminal font.

If you want to install it on non-Ubuntu or pre-11.10 machines, download it from font.ubuntu.com!

  • I'm not 100% sure but probably the package name is fonts-ubuntu-title, so, if missing, that is a package that can be installed Jan 21 at 17:16

The Ubuntu monospace fonts have been released since this question was asked: http://font.ubuntu.com/

    They also come with Ubuntu 11.10, and in fact Ubuntu Mono 13 is the new default terminal font. Oct 18, 2011 at 20:45
  • Ubuntu Mono Regular works fine for me, to display underscores

or you can use google fonts and get it easily by downloading
the font, getting the link, or copy the necessary code.
