Bug Description

When user interface font is set to "Ubuntu", QT applications for some reason use a bold font, instead of normal. Because of that applications like Skype don't look native compared to the rest of the desktop.

Changing interface font to Dejavu Sans fixes the problem, so I suppose it's an issue with font substitution in QT.

"Ubuntu" is the default interface font.

Also, because of that - because Unity-2D uses QT, it shows big, ugly, bold fonts, instead of the ones used in Unity. Fixing font substitution shouldn't be hard, and desktop will gain a lot more consistency and better look and feel.

affects: unity-distro-priority → ubuntu-font-family
