Abiword does not list all fonts for fonts-mplus

[Anup Jayapal Rao]

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

2) apt-cache policy abiword
abiword:
  Installed: 2.9.2+svn20120603-8
  Candidate: 2.9.2+svn20120603-8
  Version table:
 *** 2.9.2+svn20120603-8 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

apt-cache policy fonts-mplus
fonts-mplus:
  Installed: 049-1
  Candidate: 049-1
  Version table:
 *** 049-1 0

3) What is expected to happen in AbiWord in a new blank document is when one clicks the Font drop down, one is shown all 43 combinations of the fonts-mplus fonts.

4) What happens instead is only 7 are available to choose from:
M+ 1C
M+ 1m
M+ 1mn
M+ 1p
M+ 2c
M+ 2m
M+ 2p

WORKAROUND: Use LibreOffice Writer.

WORKAROUND: Use Leafpad.
apt-cache policy leafpad

Confirming

Installing this font through the Ubuntu Software Center, fonts-mplus 049-1, and running Abiword, abiword 2.9.2+svn20120603-8, I can confirm that only four styles are shown by Abiword, in comparison I loaded leafpad and all the different styles were shown. Font Manager is not installed on this system suggesting that the issue does lie with Abiword.

Xubuntu 12.10
