Joram,
There's not a convenient pango interface (yet) for selecting variants
outside the Regular/Italic/Bold/Bold Italic styles. However, with the way
you are doing it, you should be able to just add "Semibold" to the original
font name and mostly work (i.e., you can then also select the 'italic shape
of you want). Then you could name the font-family 'semibold or something
like that for easier identification/differentiation.
HTH,
Abraham
