Calibre UI Font Used in Demo Videos?

GrymSTN · 06-06-2011, 01:39 PM

Out of curiosity, what is the font being used for the Calibre UI in the demo videos on-site and on you tube (also in the screenshot @ http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/_images/conv_dialog.png)?

It looks something like "Ubuntu", but it has an eccentric 'i' and old-style numerals. I've looked, but I can't place it. Anyone know?

Additionally, I wanted to express my appreciation for the time and effort that have gone into this software. It's an excellent tool for managing eBooks.

I donate and recommend Calibre to all other e-bibliophiles that I know.

Keep up the good work.

I don't know about the font but the video's Kovid made are Gentoo Linux using the KDE desktop.

Is it included in the portage tree? I can't find such ebuild.
