Questions about Ubuntu Sans Mono

How do I download and install Ubuntu Sans Mono?
FontKind doesn’t host Ubuntu Sans Mono’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file. It holds two variable files, one for the uprights and one for the italics, and a static folder with a file per style: install one set or the other, not both. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open, Word included.

Not until you install it: Ubuntu Sans Mono isn’t one of Microsoft 365’s cloud fonts. Installed, it is in Word’s font menu and PowerPoint’s. On Windows, its weights beyond Regular and Bold show as fonts of their own, such as Ubuntu Sans Mono Medium and Ubuntu Sans Mono SemiBold. For someone who hasn’t installed it, turn on Embed fonts in the file in Word’s save options: its licence allows that.
