NEWTYPOGRAPHY
The second milestone release of Oxygen Regular, Bold, and Monospace is available from here. Italics and more weights due for upcoming 0.3 release.

Recently switched from Ubuntu’s font to Oxygen (like 4 or 5 days ago), though it is really different I found it as usable as Ubuntu but more pleasant to use, don’t really know why since I don’t know too much about fonts but it seems to me like an awesome work :33
The mono version is still less polished I think, it is not as pleasant to use as the regular and it doesn’t have bold (needed for writting code :p) but hey! this is only 0.2.
As for a good mono font, you can take a look at Monaco, a lot of people consider it the best.
Your font is very good, thank you!
You asked feedback on Cyrillic – here it is: please make a correct lowercase ?. For example, look at this:
On the left you can see capital, on the right – lowercase. In Oxygen lowercase looks like small caps. Thank you.
The font is coming along nicely! I really like the new version. Much more readable than I remember.
Immediately after 0.2, you began to work with some characters that are vital for us, Spanish-speaking people. Some suggestions.
1. Please, care about the em-dash, or “raya”, in Spanish (“?”, AltGr + comma, in a Spanish keyboard, Linux only, shame on you, Microsoft). It is a valid punctuation sign, just like parentheses, and has specific use cases in Spanish.
2. Inverted question and exclamation marks (“¡”,”¿”): They should begin where the x-height begins, they descend below the baseline, and end with the descender line.
Much thanks Ernesto. Will fix
