It’s sad that this report was misfiled (to the wrong package, that is), so it went unnoticed for so long.
This is not a bug specific to the Ubuntu fonts. fontconfig does not deal well with multiple weights. It’s already filed in the upstream tracker. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #81453 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81453 ** Also affects: fontconfig via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81453 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Package changed: ubuntu-font-family-sources (Ubuntu) => fontconfig (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Summary changed: - Cannot set "Ubuntu Bold" in Appearance settings + fontconfig confuses bold and medium weights -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/746383 Title: fontconfig confuses bold and medium weights To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fontconfig/+bug/746383/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
