This repo contains the initial patch to propose a fix of this issue. I didn't implement anything about CMap this time. because dealing with it in fontconfig may be overkill. applications who wants to use this feature should knows about it well. they could set the lang into FcPattern instead. Please test. if there are no problems or concerns, I'll merge it into master.

You can fix the problem manually by installing fontforge program, going to Open dialog, navigating in it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype /ubuntu-font-family/ and opening Ubuntu-M.ttf. In Element -> Font Info, you can fix the family on the first page, and then export the font with File -> Generate Fonts, selecting the type "TrueType". Save to somewhere in your home folder first, accept the warnings, then in a terminal window / command line type: sudo mv Ubuntu-M.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig Attached to this bug report is also a branch of the Ubuntu packaging that includes this manually modified Ubuntu-M.ttf, since the sources seem not to be editable with free tools. Original description: After installing the Ubuntu Font 0.80-0ubuntu3+console from quantal I have the added "Medium" font weight:- /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-B.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-RI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-MI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-LI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-RI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-M.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-BI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-C.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-BI.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-R.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf If I install this font and choose "Ubuntu Light" in LibreOffice, it actually picks the "Medium" font weight. If I remove the medium font weight files and restart LibreOffice it chooses the right weight again. It seems related to bug 744812. Screenshots show the issue.
