Browser doesn't load local Ubuntu Light font

[Michael Hall]

When setting font-family: "Ubuntu Light" in local html/css, the browser does not load the proper font. When running the same html/css in Chromium on my laptop, it uses the correct font.

I can reliably reproduce, both on desktop and a device, with the attached sample HTML page.

I’ve run this test page in the browser with the remote inspector activated, and it appears the computed font family is "Ubuntu Light", so the CSS value is correct and correctly interpreted. This looks like a rendering bug in QtWebkit itself.

Note that as a workaround, you can apply the following style:

    font-family: "Ubuntu Light", Ubuntu;
    font-weight: 100;

Interestingly, font-weight with the Ubuntu font only doesn’t work in chromium, but adding the "Ubuntu Light" font family does the trick.

Fixed with the switch to oxide.

Just Tested this since it does impact the header of the HTML5 SDK, it doesn't work with Oxide(on phone & desktop)
