Bug description:
  How to fix the problem:

  See comments on wrong "Ubuntu Light" font family being specified in
  the information of Ubuntu-M.ttf.

  You can fix the problem manually by installing fontforge program,
  going to Open dialog, navigating in it to /usr/share/fonts/truetype
  /ubuntu-font-family/ and opening Ubuntu-M.ttf. In Element -> Font
  Info, you can fix the family on the first page, and then export the
  font with File -> Generate Fonts, selecting the type "TrueType". Save
  to somewhere in your home folder first, accept the warnings, then in a
  terminal window / command line type:

  sudo mv Ubuntu-M.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family
  sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

  Attached to this bug report is also a branch of the Ubuntu packaging
  that includes this manually modified Ubuntu-M.ttf, since the sources
  seem not to be editable with free tools.

  
  Original description:

  After installing the Ubuntu Font 0.80-0ubuntu3+console from quantal I
  have the added "Medium" font weight:-

  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-B.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-RI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-MI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-LI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-RI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-M.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-BI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-B.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-L.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-C.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-BI.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-R.ttf
  /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/Ubuntu-R.ttf

  If I install this font and choose "Ubuntu Light" in LibreOffice, it
  actually picks the "Medium" font weight. If I remove the medium font
  weight files and restart LibreOffice it chooses the right weight
  again. It seems related to bug 744812.

  Screenshots show the issue.
