LibreOffice Writer files (.odt) are just a collection of XML files
and other files that have been "zipped" together.

Try to do the following.

1) Create a small Writer document, maybe one sentence, that is formatted
with Roboto Medium.

2) Save the file as "robo.odt" or whatever name you desire.  Save
into a temporary directory.

3) Then unzip the collection: unzip robo.odt

4) Among the unzipped files will be "content.xml."  Load this
file into a text editor or an XML editor and do a search for
the string "Roboto".  Associated with the second or third occurrence
of the string will be something like this:

style:font-name="Roboto" fo:font-style="medium"

If you do not see this or you see "regular" in place of "medium"
then LibreOffice is not saving correctly and it is possibly
a bug.

I don't have the Roboto fonts installed so I cannot test this
myself, but if you can then please report your findings.
