There must be something wrong on your side. I can see a clear difference

Same here.  Could be a browser issue.

I guess so. How strange. Does their website work on your machines? This is a little disconcerting...


Well, I installed the Ubuntu fonts and tried to access the Medium face from
 within LilyPond without success. Version is 2.18.2 on Windows.

Have you tried accessing it via 'font-name?  That should work since it
bypasses LilyPond's font selection code and funnels it through to
Pango directly.

I like this approach (without a better mechanism in place) because you can add:

\override '(font-name . "Ubuntu Medium") { ... }


in the markup block whenever you need that semi-bold weight (not the best solution, but it's usable).

I know that there is some on-going work right now to make more of a "master" pango-font-tree that allows you to access condensed/extended, light/semi-bold, etc. variants if they exist. Not sure if it's going anywhere at the moment, though.
