Comment 3 for bug 1521210

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
