Bug Description
Inkscape's font selector displays the right fonts
Steps:
* install the snapshot of DejaVu with DejaVu Sans
ExtraLight:
http://
* type some text in Inkscape 0.43
* open the font selection tool
Expected behaviour:
* each variant should be displayed in the preview
accordingly
* if applied, the font variant should be used by the
text object
Current behaviour:
* DejaVu Sans BoldOblique displays what Sans Book
displays in the preview and with the text object (see
following cases)
* with the ExtraLight font named ExtraLight:
DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight with the text
object but correctly in the preview
DejaVu Sans ExtraLigth displays Sans Book in the
preview but correctly with the text object
* changing the name of DejaVu ExtraLight to DejaVu
Light in the source and producing new ttf file:
DejaVu Sans Book displays ExtraLight all the time
(both preview and with text object)
* Applied font selection to a text object is not
remembered (ExtraLight, Book and BoldOblique return to
Book)

BoldOlblique.
BoldOblique is displayed and remembered as Book.
