Native readers: extending the Beta

Design

It is time to extend the Ubuntu Font Beta Testing.

We need to make sure that the Ubuntu font is being fully exercised beyond the English language and I do not want to rely on accidental incidents but rather explicitly add people from the translations teams for various languages (and alphabets).

Today we have started adding language teams so, if your team gets an email from us, we need your help!

For more information on the Beta programme please see my previous post.
