Comment 28 for bug 595432

I noticed the same error today when I wanted to use the Aller font in a project and Inkscape always used the "Light" variant.

I've installed an somewhat older dev-package (Inkscape 0.48+devel r12149 (Feb 24 2013)) for precise from Cafuego[1] today and I have still the same problems with the Aller font as #5 described.

I can only select "Aller" and "Aller Display", in both the drop-down menu and the Font dialogue. When I choose "Aller", the font is displayed in the Light variant instead of the Regular variant. Other variants like bold, italic and bold italic work fine.

The problem with Arial Black seems to be fixed, the font doesn't get replaced with Arial Bold anymore.
