Bug Description

Inkscape 0.47pre3 on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.04 on a 64bit machine.

Changing fonts of part of a sentence to "URW Palladio L" gives Palladio, but only bold.

Write a sentence using any font (I just tryed URW Bookman L and Bitstream fonts), then select some characters or words of the sentence and choose the font "URW Palladio L". The selected characters or words change to Palladio, but bold, and it is not possible to set medium or bold+italic.
If the font is set to italic befor changing to Palladium then it is posible to get an italic Palladium and even bold+italic, but no medium plain.

Not reproduced with Inkscape 0.48 and 0.48+devel r9873 on OS X 10.5.8: Additional weights have been added in r9332:

Do you still have the problem to select 'Medium' as font weight with Inkscape 0.48 or a recent development build?
