My workaround worked for months without issues (at least for me):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/744812/comments/81
After placing the conf file in the proper directory, the font cache must be 
refreshed to see the results (I use "fc-cache -fv" both as user and super-user).
I used successfully this "technique" with other annoying fonts too, as Roboto ( 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733077#20 ) and Nimbus Sans ( 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645876#10 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645876#17 ).
It's basically reassigning the wrong hard-coded font properties with the 
correct ones using fontconfig. If adding other fontconfig configuration files 
is not the preferred way, the other way I can only see is to edit the font 
properties directly into the ttf/otf files.
