Came across this bug today because I cannot use Ubuntu Medium/Bold correctly in neither Libreoffice (5.1.4-0ubuntu1) nor Inkscape (0.91 r13725) under Kubuntu 16.04. The System was installed from scratch and updates are recent.
I have tried the ttf-ubuntu-font-family/xenial package (0.83-0ubuntu2) as well as downloaded Versions from both font.ubuntu.com (0.83 too) and fontsquirrel.com. In LOO I get all weights under the "Ubuntu" Family entry, except "Medium" -- interestingly Light Italic/Italic/Medium Italic/Bold Italic are there and working! Non-Italic only Light, Regular and Bold show up as Styles. There is no separate Light/Medium Family, only Condensed and Mono. In Inkscape, otoh, I have Medium/Medium Italic, but no Bold styles. All available Styles are rendered correctly, i. e. "Regular" is normal, not Medium, etc. In Inkscape I can get a text set to correct Bold style if I enter "Bold" in the Style Dropdown manually. I am sure this is supposedly not the correct place to put this report - maybe someone can point me somewhere better. Maybe it is a regression, though. A quick look into Ubuntu-M.ttf showed the "Ubuntu Light" thing, and I have also read Bug 744812, but found it it also quite dated and complex. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054204 Title: Libreoffice chooses incorrect font weight To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fontconfig/+bug/1054204/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
