Google Android fonts now available on a netbook

So the Android operating system seems to be catching on with many folks these days in a myriad of devices, so why not adorn your little netbook with fonts from the Google Android OS instead? Developed by Ascender Corporation’s Steve Matteson, this custom family of fonts including Droid Sans, Droid Sans Mono, and Droid Serif are sure to spruce up your netbook whenever you type out a geeky document. Not only does it take up less space to install than other fonts, reading it is also a peach. To install the Droid fonts on a netbook running on Ubuntu Linux is easier than Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk – all you need to do is a terminal window and type: sudo apt-get install ttf-droid. Yeah, pretty painless, eh? Windows users will have to take a slightly harder route by downloading the fonts and installing them individually. Great way to get non-nerds into thinking that your netbook is running on Android from the font alone…
