I checked OOo 2.0.2 and it shows almost the same behavior. In the Format->Character dialog I can select "Swiss 721" as Font and then I see four typefaces, "Light", "Light Italic", "Regular" and "Medium Italic". This is a slight change as "Regular" should be "Medium".
This is what fc-list reports:
Swiss 721:style=Light Italic
Swiss 721:style=Medium Italic
Swiss 721:style=Medium
Swiss 721:style=Light
Why OOo decides that the "Medium" should be "Regular" is beyond me. In the toolbar fontselector I still see only one Swiss 721 entry and selecting that I get the "Medium" typeface which probably correlates with the "Regular" identification.
In Windows OOo there are two entries, "Swiss 721 lt" and "Swiss 721 md" which is what I would prefer. With large font families I'd rather be able to select the proper font myself than having OOo trying to force the primitve typography of 1980's word processors on me.
