Choosing Light font for Desktop not working

[Kev Bowring]

With the latest version of these fonts installed I am unable to choose Ubuntu Light for Desktop. It chooses Thin.

Other font weights can be used correctly.

Rather than a bunch of screenshots to illustrate - screencast attached

Is the font selectable anywhere else? For example, gEdit, or LibreOffice?

If so, what is that "Appearance" utility you are using?

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

Running Xubuntu here.

The appearance utility is xfce4-appearance-settings.

Don't appear to be able to set font to anything but Ubuntu in LO writer.

Using mousepad - set font to Light - get Thin

Installed gedit to check - set font to Light - get Thin

-----------------------
Updated my ubuntu daily for today's build.

Run Ubuntu daily in a vm

In gedit - set font to Light - get Thin

In LO Writer can set AND get Light

appears to be fixed by revert back to previous version - as in bug 1520772
