It’s sad that this report was misfiled (to the wrong package, that is),
so it went unnoticed for so long.

This is not a bug specific to the Ubuntu fonts. fontconfig does not deal
well with multiple weights.

It’s already filed in the upstream tracker.

Title:
  fontconfig confuses bold and medium weights

Status in Fontconfig - Font Configuration Library:
  Unknown
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Attempts to set "Ubuntu Bold" in the Appearance settings fall back to
  "Ubuntu Medium". In fact, in the font selection screen there seems to
  be no difference between bold and medium.

  Curiously enough, Bug #746382 sort of proves that Ubuntu Bold *is*
  installed and accessible.
