Bug Description

If I change the font in the text tool, fonts containing a space (e.g. 'Arial Black')
change to the 'parent' font without space instead (e.g. 'Arial').
This is also the case for 'Aller Light' and 'Aller'.
If I change a selection to 'Arial Black', the font will be 'Arial' and the type is set to bold.
If there is no selection, the selected font name jumps to 'Arial' as soon as I start entering text.
If there is no 'parent' font, selection works (e.g. 'Angsa New'). If there is a 'parent' font containing a space, it works, too.

Selection in the text and font dialog works correctly.

I'm on 0.48.1 on Windows. Bug #212812 might be related to this one. Can someone confirm, please?
