If Ubuntu follows Debian packaging as much as I think, we are not shipping the 
Luxi fonts because they are not DFSG-compatible and Adobe's Utopia fonts 
because of mostly the same thing, they do not allow modification (although I 
have heard lately that Adobe opened some of their fonts lately, maybe we can 
review that).

If you happened to be relying on those fonts then of course things will 
change.
