Comment 7 for bug 744812

The current situation is that 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family' isn't the broken part, but the easiest way to effect a fix before release if we can't fix FontConfig/Qt before release (which is increasing in likelihood) is to do it via the 'ttf-ubuntu-font-family' package.

This can be done by not shipping the Medium and Medium Italic weights in Ubuntu 11.04 ('rm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-M*.ttf').

The /actual/ issue is likely in FontConfig, which appears to be paying more credence to the older 'Bold' flag than the user numerical weight.
