Ubuntu – How to change the font in the terminal of server

fontsserver

I'm running a 10.04 server at home. Is it possible to install the new Ubuntu font used in the 10.10 Desktop versions on my server and configure it so the console uses it when I hook up a monitor to it while I'm working on it (for when SSH isn't working)?

Thanks for your help!!

The Ubuntu font has no monospaced version, so it's not suited for use in a terminal or console that has fixed width character cells.

In addition, console fonts are special bitmap fonts, not TrueType/OpenType fonts (but OTOH it shouldn't be too difficult to create a console font from a monospaced TrueType font).
