Partially confirmed on bionic, but maybe not.
LibreOffice writer: Bug exists and "Light" is heavier if you type in
"Ubuntu Light". However if you use "Ubuntu" and right-click on text to
choose Character... > Style=Light, then it is correctly lighter. No bug.
gnome-font-viewer: No bug (light is indeed lighter).
Looking at the HTML in comment #9, I'm thinking maybe that test case is
wrong. In theory you would probably want to change:
font-family: 'Wrong';
- font-style: normal;
+ font-style: light;
font-weight: 300;
- src: local('Ubuntu Light');
+ src: local('Ubuntu');
However in practice CSS doesn't appear to have an option "font-style:
light". So it would appear to me trying to use Light in a web page or
CSS is the mistake. It works fine in native apps where you can select
Style = Light.
