Bug Description
[Kubuntu natty up-to-date]
Hi,
Without any change on my system, I noticed some days ago that my default font (ubuntu) changed. Some odd behaviour appeared : ubuntu medium 10 pt was ok but ubuntu medium 11pt was bold (-> in my taskbar clock or in kpackapgekit). In fact, after some play with kcm kubuntu font manager, the ubuntu medium 10pt was wrong, since kcm module shows the true appearance of ubuntu medium, which is quite bold. I swapped to ubunu light font
SO ! I changed font hinting to light (default in kubuntu seems to be medium) and it seems to have solved bugs.
Anyway, "ubuntu font" management by KDE seems to be strange, and firefox 4 font rendering is worse (imho) with light hinting (but maybe because of unselected "system default" parameter in fonts kcm).

I forgot to say that this issue is maybe not typically ubuntu-font related, since font rendering is doubious at this time in kubuntu.
But anyway ubuntu-font is the official one, so...
