Bug Description
ubuntu condensed font with the bold weight is not rendered properly inside inkscape, as can be seen from the attachments. in fact, inkscape shows the normal weight font instead. the wrong font also appears when exported to bitmap or when converted to paths. on the other hand, save as pdf produces a correct font, and viewing the inkscape svg file with, say, geeque, also shows the correct font.
this might be relevant to other fonts also, but i did not check.
while this bug report is filed from ubuntu 13.04, the same thing is observed on a fully updated 13.10.
