Bug description:
After upgrading from Vivid to Wily, pages using the "Ubuntu light" font actually renders with a weight heavier than the regular one in web pages.
This happens with Chrome/Chromium and also the Ubuntu browser.
After manually reinstalling the 0.80-0ubuntu6 version from Vivid (in
place of 0.83-0ubuntu1), the issue is fixed.
See the attached screenshot showing the result seen browing

ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10
Package: ttf-ubuntu-font-family 0.83-0ubuntu1
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-17.21-generic 4.2.3
Uname: Linux 4.2.0-17-generic x86_64
ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4
Architecture: amd64
CurrentDesktop: Unity
Date: Sun Nov 1 17:55:19 2015
Dependencies:
InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-10-14 (382 days ago)
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.10 "Utopic Unicorn" - Alpha amd64 (20140923)
PackageArchitecture: all
SourcePackage: ubuntu-font-family-sources
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to wily on 2015-10-31 (0 days ago)
IMPACT: Ubuntu Light font renders incorrectly for all 15.10 users
which impacts the usability and visual design.
The new version of font package (0.831) corrects the relationship
between Light and Medium weight to follow the commonly used naming
standards:
Ubuntu Light Light Light Italic
Ubuntu Regular Italic Bold Bold Italic
Ubuntu Medium Medium Medium Italic
Ubuntu Condensed Regular
Ubuntu Mono Regular Italic Bold Bold Italic
TEST CASE: in 15.10, go to
https://www.google.com/fonts#UsePlace:use/Collection:Ubuntu
If the Light weight renders heavier than Normal weight, the bug is in
place
REGRESSION POTENTIAL
0.831 was tested by manually running in 15.10 and no regression was
noticed, while the bug was fixed. The potential for regression is
small.
