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 Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-font-family- sources in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1054204 Title: Libreoffice chooses incorrect font weight Status in Fontconfig: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Font Family: Invalid Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-font-family-sources package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-font-family-sources source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-font-family-sources source package in Raring: Fix Released Bug description: How to fix the problem: See comments on wrong "Ubuntu Light" font family being specified in the information of Ubuntu-M.ttf. 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.

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.
