Bug Description
The new "Ubuntu Light" appears heavier than "Ubuntu regular" in LibreOffice. The same goes for the bold variant of both. I am using a fully updated version of Natty.
Attached is a PDF file showing the problem.
It appears that "medium" is used instead of "light". At least that's what gets embedded in the PDF.
I installed the TTFs under Debian Squeeze and LibreOffice showed the same behaviour there. Scribus-ng on the other hand hand distinguish between all four variants of ttf-ubuntu-
Gnome-appearanc
