Bug Description

The 12.10 Dash designs specified that the Ubuntu Medium font weight should be used for Category Headers and search filter Category headers (see designs in https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/12_10/desktop_and_netbook/Dash/ )

Unfortunately the Ubuntu Medium font did not land in time to be used in the Dash in 12.10. This change request is the use the Ubuntu Medium font as intended in the 13.04 Dash.

I received a 'Ubuntu_0.831.zip' file yesterday, without any context, but appears to a possible test case[1] that if applied to the main font build would unblock this and allow Dash to select Medium (hopefully; other blocker was in Qt).

[1] (Selected font test, probably for confirmation of that the decoupling of Light/Medium and fixing of the Postscript-Name for compliance).
